how to cook rice

This is a very common Indonesian way to cook plain white rice, a recipe every daughter gets from her mum. No scale, no measurement, just using your finger.

If you don't use rice cooker, boil the water (with rice in it). Close the pan lid when it boiled. Don't forget to stir the rice occasionally to avoid overcooked on the bottom of the pan.
