You need these ingredients:

-Round grain rice (e.g. rice pudding) per person approx. 100ml (90g)

-Water per person 100g

Preparation:

  1. Soak the rice in water for 30 minutes. This will ensure that it is really soft after cooking. If you leave it out, it will still be edible but a little hard (similar to risotto rice).
  2. Wash the rice thoroughly by placing it in a bowl and completely covering it with water and moving it around in the water until the water becomes cloudy. Drain the water and repeat the process three times. Tip: You can reuse the washing water as a soup base for some Korean dishes.
  3. Put the rice and water in a saucepan.
  4. Cook the rice on high heat for 3 minutes, then on medium heat for 5 minutes, and then on low heat for 7 minutes.
  5. Turn off the heat, but leave the pot on the stove for another 5 minutes.
  6. Complete!
