Rinse the rice under cold water once to remove most of the starch and drain it.

Add 250 ml of water to the rinsed rice, ensuring the water does not exceed 2 cm above the rice.

Cover the pot and bring it to a boil.

Once boiling, add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of olive oil (optional).

Stir the rice gently to prevent sticking, then cover the pot again and place a rag over the lid to prevent steam from escaping.

Reduce the heat to the minimum and cook for 15-20 minutes without opening the pot.

After 15 minutes, remove the pot from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 10 minutes without stirring.

Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
