Perfectly cooked, separate grained rice

Method:

We are talking here about the absorbtion method; one dl of uncooked rice per person.

(I use Uncle Ben's full grain brown rice, so you may need to adjust the timing according to whatever rice you use).

Wash the rice thoroughly in a sieve, under a running tap.

Transfer the rice to a saucepan, add ½ tsp salt per dl of rice and pour in twice the rice measure of water.

Bring to the boil, reduce the heat to medium and put a well fitting lid on the pan. Let it simmer for 11 minutes. (From this point on, do not remove the lid until you are ready to serve).

Remove from the heat source and let it stand for 5 minutes, still without lifting the lid.

There you have it!
