Wash the rice thoroughly and soak it in water for about 30 minutes.
Mix soybean paste, water, and sake (rice wine or cooking wine).
Pour the rice and soybean paste mixture with sake into a pot.
Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low and cook the rice.
Once the rice is cooked, let it rest for 10 minutes.
Serve immediately in a bowl.
