• Add the rice, season with the salt and stir for about a minute
• Add the liquid and bring to a gentle boil
• Reduce to a simmer, cover and let it simmer until all water has been absorbed (try not to peak - we don't want to lose steam that's precious for the next step!)

• Open the pot, then "air" the rice for a minute or two. Then, fluff with a fork, and serve!
