Add 100g short grain rice to a bowl. Add warm water to the bowl. Swirl your fingers over the rice to loosen the starch. Drain away the water and repeat 3 or 4 times to remove the starch.

Drain your rice and add to a pan. Pour in 200ml water and place onto the hob. Turn on the heat and add 1 tsp of salt. Add the lid, bring to the boil, then turn the heat down to allow the rice to simmer.

After around 10 minutes, remove the lid and check the rice. If it is soft and the appropriate texture, drain, place on a plate. Garnish with coriander and serve.
