   In a medium saucepan, combine rice with 1 1/2 cups cold water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a bamboo spatula or fork.
3. Step3

Spread rice evenly in casserole and cover with a damp towel; allow rice to cool at room temperature. Use immediately.
