My mother remembers her grandmother using this technique with dishrags.
Ingredients
1:1 Ratio of rice to cold water
1 teaspoon of Salt (or more)
1 teaspoon of butter (or more)
Directions
1. Rinse the rice
2. Add all the ingredients to a pot on medium heat
2. Bring to a boil and allow most of the water to absorb (the rice should still look wet)
3. Extinguish heat, place 2 paper towels over pot and seal tightly with lid
4. Allow it to rest for 15 minutes
5. Fluff with a fork and serve!
