In a bowl add you 1/2 cup of rice, then rinse rice under water and discard the first set of water to remove the dirt and impurities. add your 2 cups of water to the rinsed rice and cover. Let the rice sit and soak for atleast 15-30mins. Occasionally, swirl the bowl around or knead with your hands so that the water becomes cloudy.
