Materials
- 1 bowl rice

- Place in a medium-deep pot for easy stirring. Depending on how much rice is left, for about a cup of rice put 2-3 tablespoons of water. This is to avoid heating rice to a crunchy texture.1 bowl rice
- Cover the pot with a lid over low heat for 4-5 minutes. Stir occasionally if the rice is still clumping to break it evenly. Covering the pot will create steam together with water. The presence of moisture will soften up the rice and bring back its fluffiness as it was first cooked.1 bowl rice
Notes
Do Not Overheat the rice - keep it on low to medium. Stir at least twice in the heating process to stop clumping
