Wash rice thoroughly before cooking to remove excess starch by placing in a sieve and rinsing under cold running water until the water runs clear. Place rice in a heavy–based saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover rice by 2 cm. Cover pan with a tight fitting lid. Bring to the boil over a high heat, then reduce heat to very low. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
