Combine rice; water; and salt, if using, in large saucepan and bring to simmer over high heat. Stir rice with rubber spatula, dislodging any rice that sticks to bottom of saucepan.

Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook (Steam should for 20 minutes. steadily emit from sides of saucepan. If water bubbles out from under lid, reduce heat slightly.)

Off heat, let rice sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Gently fluff rice with fork.
