STEP 3: To eliminate the smell associated with Ofada rice, let it soak in cold water for approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour before cooking.

STEP 4: Now, place a cooking pot over medium heat. Add four cups of water to the pot and pour in the washed Ofada rice. Allow it to cook for about 12 minutes. Remember not to cover the pot during the cooking process.

STEP 5: Carefully remove the pot from the heat source, and pour the cooked rice into a colander.
