1.  In a medium saucepan, combine rice, salt, and 2 1/2 cups water; bring to a boil. 
     Cover; simmer over medium-low heat until rice is tender and water has been 
     absorbed, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat. Spread rice in a single layer over 
     a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let sit, uncovered, 3 to 4 hours.
