6. 6 Place the pot on the stove over medium-high heat and bring the water to a boil.
7. 7 Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with the lid, and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
8. 8 After 15 minutes, turn off the heat and let the rice sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes to finish steaming.
9. 9 Fluff the rice gently with a rice paddle or fork before serving.
