Rice
Rinse the rice in a sieve under cold running water until the water runs clear, then drain well. Bring the water and rice to the boil, cover the rice and simmer over a very low heat for approx. 10 mins., turn off the heat and leave the rice to fluff up for approx. 10 mins. (do not remove the lid).
