Japanese rice

How to cook perfect Japanese rice

  1. Rinse the uncooked rice in several changes of clean water, while constantly draining the cloudy water away.

  2. Let the rice dry out a bit in a sieve.

  3. Put the rice and 1.1 times the rice in volume of clean water (c.g. 1 cup of rice = 1.1 cups water) in your cooking implement for at least 30 minutes, ideally 1 hour or more up to half a day.

  4. If using a pot with lid: Lid on, heat pot over medium-low heat for 12 minutes (use a timer!)

    OR

    heat over medium-low heat until steam is coming out from the edges of the lid; lower the heat a bit, and cook for 7 minutes (use a timer!)

  5. Turn off the heat, lid still on. Let rest for 10-20 minutes.

Turn the rice up with a paddle.

Enjoy!
