Place rice in fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl. Rinse under running water, until the water runs clear.
Bring rinsed rice, water, and salt to boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Simmer uncovered until the water level drops below the surface of the rice, about 5-10 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until rice is tender and water is fully absorbed, this will take about 5-10 minutes. Let sit for 10-15 minutes and serve.
