Summarize this article:

For the recipe, you'll need 1 cup (225 g) of white rice, though you can adjust the amount based on how many people you're cooking for. In general, you should have cup (112 g) of uncooked rice per person. Add the rice to a colander or strainer so water can easily pass over it. Soaking the rice before you cook it helps get the cooking process started so your finished rice will have a better texture. You can skip the step if you're in a hurry, but you may wind up having to cook the rice a little longer on the stove.
Place the rice in a colander. Let the rice soak for 10 to 15 minutes.
