Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 2

3 cups Japanese short-grain rice
3 cups cold water

Steps:

  • Wash rice in a fine sieve placed in a bowl until the water runs clear, about 3 or 4 times. Drain. Let rice rest 20 minutes.
  • In a heavy-bottomed saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, add rice and 3 cups cold water. Make a well in the center of the rice. Cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer for 13 to 15 minutes, depending on the freshness of rice. Reduce heat to low, and cook for an additional 7 minutes. Remove from heat. Do not remove lid. Let rice rest for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.

I followed the recipe exactly and the rice was still undercooked. I had to add more water and cook it for longer.

This recipe was easy to follow and the rice came out great! I especially liked the use of dashi in the cooking water, which gave the rice a lovely flavor.

I've been making Japanese rice for years, and this recipe is by far the best I've tried. The rice turned out perfect: fluffy, moist, and with a slight hint of sweetness. I will definitely be using this recipe from now on.
