What each ingredient does
- Rice
- Forms the bulk of the mould and sets into a firm shape as it cools.
- Water
- Cooks the rice until tender so it can be packed and hold its shape.
The step that matters
Let it set, then turn it out onto a plate. The rice must cool and firm up fully before unmoulding; turning it out too early can cause it to slump or break apart. Wetting the mould helps the rice release cleanly.
