• Rinsing the rice is optional, but it can help remove excess starch and dirt from the grain, so that the rice won't get too sticky when it's done.

Pour the rice into the pot and add cold water. After washing the rice, pour the rice into a small pot. Fill the pot with cold water about 5cm taller than the rice.

• With 1-2 cups (230-450 grams) of rice, you should use a 2-liter pot.

Discard the water soaked in rice and wash the pot. When the time is over for soaking, pour the rice into a basket or sieve to filter out the soaking water. Wash the pot to remove any remaining starch, then put the rice in it.

Fill the pot with clean water and stir. A suitable ratio of water to rice is 1: 1, which means you will add 1 cup (240 ml) of water to the rice pot. Use a wooden spoon to stir the rice well with water.

• Some recipes recommend using a ratio of 1 rice and 2 water. However, this amount of water is too much. You can try different ratios to choose the one that suits your own taste.
• You can replace the water with a delicious broth if you like. Chicken, beef, and vegetable broths are all good options.

Stir salt and butter into rice. When the water boils, add a pinch of salt to taste and 1 tablespoon (15 grams) of butter in the pot. Stir the ingredients well.

• This step is optional but may result in a more delicious finish.
• You can replace the avocado with oil, such as olive oil or canola oil, if you prefer.

Turn to low heat and cover the pot. After you add the seasoning, turn the stove on to low heat. Cover the pot to keep the steam in order to cook the rice evenly.

Turn off the heat and put the rice in the pot. When the cooking is finished, turn off the heat and remove the pot from the stove. Cover the rice cooker with the lid and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the cooking is complete.

• If there is still water in the pot after the rice is cooked, filter it out.

Open the lid and stir the rice. After 5 minutes of leaving the rice in the pot, remove the lid. Use a fork or spatula to make the rice fluffy. Better yet, you should leave the rice in the pot for another 2-3 minutes until the rice is slightly dry.

Serve the rice while it is still warm. When the rice is fluffy and slightly dry, you can either divide the rice into small dishes or completely fill a large bowl. Be sure to serve up the rice early so it is still warm.

• You can store leftover rice in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
