"Step 1: Measure rice, one cup per person

Step 2: Put rice in sieve and rinse under cold water

Step 3: Put rice in saucepan

Step 4: Boil kettle and add boiling water to saucepan. 2 and a quarter cups per person

Step 5: Put lid on saucepan

Step 6: Cook on high heat for five minutes

Step 7: Take off the heat, do not remove lid. Leave off the heat with lid on for ten minutes.

Note - in theory this can be longer, if you're not ready with the rest of the meal - but if you leave it too long it could go soft. Best then to take off the lid as then the steam can't keep cooking it.

Step 8: Remove from pan and put on plate. Eat and enjoy.


NB: Cooking rice with coca cola should not be employed using the above instructions. Cooking rice with coca cola should only be undertaken with the immediate supervision of a Colombian.

I love how she's ended the instructions as one might end a CV.
