Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 c Rice
2 c Water

1. Pour the rice into a cooking pot. Fill the pot
nearly to the brim with cold water, then pour the
water out. The rice will remain at the bottom of the
pot. Repeat this process 4 or 5 times, or until the
water seems quite clear. Rinsing the rice in this
manner eliminates any excess starch.

2. Cover the rice with 2 cups water and let it stand
for 30 minutes. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and
steam for 20 minutes or until dry.

Generally speaking, if Americans are to be served, use
1/2 cup uncooked rice for each person. Double the
amount if cooking for Koreans, especially Korean men.
