Place rice and water in a medium size pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium maintaining boil. Continue to boil uncovered until water has boiled down to the level of the rice and crater-like pockets form on the wet surface of the rice. (If you cook it a little too long and the rice looks dry, just throw in a little extra water at this point.)

Cover the pot and turn off the heat. Leave pot on the warm burner for 10-15 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve.

To make the "rice domes", line a ⅓-1/2 cup measuring container with plastic wrap. Spoon rice into measuring cup and pack tightly with back of spoon. Carefully turn cup over and tap on plate to release rice. Remove plastic wrap from rice carefully.
