Wash the rice thoroughly several times, until the water that comes out of it is clear. Then let it soak in room temperature water for 15 minutes.
Add the water and salt to a big and wide pot. Bring to the a roaring boil.
Drain the rice and add it to the boiling water. Once it boils, set a timer for 5 minutes. Then take it off heat.
Use a colander to drain all the excess water from the rice. Take out all the rice from the pot and put the pot back onto the stove.
Add 2 Tbsp (30 ml) water into the same pot. Add the rice back into the pot and cover with a lid. Let it cook on low heat for 5-7 minutes until the rice is tender.
