STEP 1: Begin by pouring the Ofada rice onto a tray. Take the time to carefully inspect and remove any stones or dirt that may be present. This is crucial because Ofada rice tends to be quite dirty and may contain unwanted debris.

STEP 2: Transfer the rice from the tray to a bowl and add water. Wash the rice thoroughly by rubbing it together with your palms. Repeat this process several times, using plenty of water, until the water runs clear.

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. 

STEP 6: Once the rice has softened, turn off the heat. If there is any residual water remaining in the pot, drain it using the colander.
