     Title: PERFECT CHINESE STEAMED RICE
Categories: Oriental
     Yield: 4 servings

     2 c  Uncooked long-grain rice
 3 1/2 c  Water

 PUT THE RICE INTO A LARGE BOWL and wash it in several
 changes of water until the water runs clear. Drain the
 rice and put in a heavy pot with the water and bring
 to a boil. Continue boiling until most of the surface
 liquid has evaporated. This should take about 15 to 20
 minutes. The surface of the rice should have small
 indentations like a pitted crater. At this point,
 cover the pot with a very tight-fitting lid, turn the
 heat as low as possible and let the rice cook
 undisturbed for 15 to 20 minutes. There is no need to
 fluff the rice before serving it.
