5 cups water

1 teaspoon salt

  • Boil

1 cup rice

  • Put in boiling water.

  • When boiling again, boil for 2 min.

  • Drain and return to pot.

  • Sprinkle tomato mixture on top.

  • Heap rice in middle.

  • Cover and steam for 30 min on low heat, then 15 min on very low (less than 1).

  • Serve on big flat plate.
