Place the rice in a large bowl and fill with fresh, room temperature water. Swirl your hand through the water and the rice for about one minute; the water will go cloudy from the starch. Pour off the water, taking care not to lose any rice. Repeat this washing process until the water runs clear. Usually, this takes 3 or 4 changes of water.

Fill up the bowl 1 more time and let the rice soak for 30 minutes.

At the end of 30 minutes, drain the rice. Fill a medium saucpan with 1 3/4 cups water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil.

Add the rice, stir and wait until the water comes back to a full boil. When it does, turn the heat down as low as it can go, and then cover. Cook for 15 minutes.

At the end of 15 minutes, cut the heat. Let the rice sit for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve.
