Instructions
0 Rinse the Rice: Add the rice to a pressure cooker and rinse with cold water 3–4 times to remove excess starch and rice bran. Drain well after the final rinse.e. 1 Soak: Soak the rice in water for 30 minutes to help it cook evenly and achieve a fluffy texture. 7 Bring to a boil: Drain the rice, add the water, and bring it to a boil over medium heat. 10 Simmer: Once it boils, stir the rice gently with a shamoji to distribute the heat evenly. Then, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer for 10 minutes. 8 Rest: Turn off the heat, and let the rice rest with the lid on for 10 minutes. This helps the rice finish cooking and absorb the remaining moisture. 9 Fluff: Remove the lid, and gently fluff the rice with a shamoji to separate the grains and make it nice and fluffy.View original recipe
