Ingredients
Tick ingredients as you prepare.
Method
- Use a clean fist-shaped kumò pouch with a tight two-strand weave.
- Rinse and drain the rice thoroughly.
- Spoon rice into the rounded centre, filling no more than halfway.
- Settle the grains with a gentle shake rather than pressing them into the compact shape.
- Submerge in boiling water and cook 40–50 minutes.
- Turn the packets halfway through so the thick rounded centre heats evenly.
- Open one and check that the centre is tender with no hard core.
- Drain and serve as plain rice, keeping ceremonial or offering uses outside the cooking preparation.
