- Meanwhile, using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
- Add rice to the boiling water, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. (NOTE: Reduce heat to low if water is boiling over.)
- Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.

- Set aside in the fridge to cool.
- Rinse out pot.
- Peel then mince or grate garlic.
- Thinly slice cucumber.
