Put the rice in a bowl and cover with water, let it soak overnight

Drain the rice and rinse with cold water a couple times

Put water in the pot and bring to a boil

Place the rice in the bamboo basket and set it on top of the pot making sure the basket is not in the water.

Cook for 15 minutes and then holding the sides of the basket flip the rice over like you would flip an omelette. In one swift movement.

Cook for an additional 5 minutes

put the rice in individual bamboo baskets or in a bowl and serve hot.

The rice will be sticky and tender. Use a wooden spoon to serve.

Enjoy!

Note: if you are using a steamer basket instead of the specially made bamboo basket, do the same thing except place the rice in some cheesecloth, so you can flip it over.
