Taste it as you get toward the end of cooking to test its doneness.
It’s ready when tender and no longer crunchy, but still a touch too firm for your liking.
Set the strainer over your sink or a large bowl and strain the rice and cooking liquid.

(The cooking liquid can be saved for other cooking projects.)
Shake the strainer a few times to fully drain the rice.
Let stand off the heat, for 10 to 15 minutes.
