               Rice

 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2       c            Rice
  2       c            Water

 1.  Pour the rice into a cooking pot. Fill the pot
 nearly to the brim with cold water, then pour the
 water out. The rice will remain at the bottom of the
 pot. Repeat this process 4 or 5 times, or until the
 water seems quite clear. Rinsing the rice in this
 manner eliminates any excess starch.

 2.  Cover the rice with 2 cups water and let it stand
 for 30 minutes. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and
 steam for 20 minutes or until dry.

 Generally speaking, if Americans are to be served, use
 1/2 cup uncooked rice for each person. Double the
 amount if cooking for Koreans, especially Korean men.
