Tips

In general, I use the following simple recipe to cook white rice.

Using a Kitchen Scale weigh 75g of rice per person you are serving.
Place the rice in a wide clay pot, or donabe.
Rinse the rice three times until the water begins to run clear.
Add a sprinkle of salt and a pat of butter, and add enough water to cover the top layer of rice by just a little bit, maybe half a centimeter.
Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, stirring regularly. As soon as it comes to a rolling boil, reduce the heat to low and cover for 20 minutes.
After that time, remove from heat and leave covered for another 5 minutes.
