Rinse it well; water should run clear to get rid of excess starch that can make your rice sticky. Next, soak it for about 20 minutes for optimal expansion of the grains. Aim for about 1 and 3/4 cups of water for every 1 cup of rice. Take a large pot, splash in some water cover the pot and let it simmer for abot 15 min. Once it's done, fluff it with a fork and let it sit, off the heat, covered, for a few minutes.
