Step 2
Rinse rice of any variety thoroughly in water, pour it into a saucepan, and cover with boiling water, adding a couple of pinches of salt. Cook the rice over medium heat for about 15 minutes. Then turn off the heat, cover the pot with a lid, and let the rice steam for another 5–10 minutes. After that, cool the rice. It's best to cook and cool the rice in advance, as the salad is made with cold ingredients.
