Drain rice through a metal seive into a heat proof container, saving hot water.

Leave rice in the seive and add two inches of the hot water back to the pot and return to a boil on the stove

Place seive with rice on the pot with the boiling water, cover seive and pot with a lid or aluminum foil and steam for 15 minutes.
