Steamed Rice - cooking recipe

Ingredients

steaming device that will accommodate a 1-qt., heat resistant glass bowl
1-qt. container made of heat resistant glass (we use a souffle dish)
strainer

Preparation

Put 1 cup of long grain rice and 1 cup of tap water in the bowl.
Gently rub rice between fingers, then drain rice through the strainer.
Put rice and strainer back in the bowl, another cup of water and rub again.
Repeat this process until the water in the bowl is clear (about 3 times).
Now, dump the rice out of the strainer into the bowl and add 1 cup of water.
Put bowl into the steamer.
Turn heat to medium-high under the steamer.
When steam starts to develop, cover and steam rice for 20 minutes at the medium-high setting.
Turn heat to low and steam 10 minutes more. Cooked rice will be tightly packed, so fluff with a wet chopstick or fork.
