Wash the rice in a colander until the water runs clear then tip into the boiling water. Let the rice cook over high heat, uncovered until the water reduces to below the rice (about 10 minutes).
Use a fork to fluff the rice, cover the and let simmer over low heat until the rice has dried up (about 5 minutes).
Take off the heat, fluff the rice once more then serve.
