Steps:

• Boil 2 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Add the rice and salt and return to a boil, stirring once or twice.

Or, if you prefer, prepare all at once assembly-line style. Slice in half on the bias if serving for lunch. For appetizers, cut into 1- to 2-inch pieces and serve with the spirals facing up.
