4
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

Remove from heat and let the rice rest, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the grains to firm up.

Fluff the rice gently with a fork, breaking up any clumps, and transfer to a serving dish.
