Pour some water (about 3 cup) over uncooked rice in a bowl. Run your fingers through the rice a couple times to rinse the rice, then drain the water. Discard this first rinsed water. Swirl the rice around for 15 seconds with your fingers to loosen the starch coating on the rice grains. Add the amount of water the recipe needs (or about 4 cups) and rinse the rice. You will see the water turning milky. This is your rice water that you will need to reserve. Pour the second rinsed water (rice water) into another bowl and reserve it for your cooking or beauty needs. Continue to rinse your rice a couple more times before cooking it by your usual rice cooking method.
