Notes
This is a rustic, unpretentious home-cooked staple that creates soft and palatable rice using only a regular pot. White rice mainly provides carbohydrates for a quick energy boost to the body. The method is extremely simple; beginners can easily master it by keeping an eye on the heat throughout the process. The total time from adding rice to serving is approximately 25 minutes.
