Two pieces of baking/greaseproof/parchment paper needed. The left is trimmed into a circle to fit inside the jetboil. The right has a slit cut into it.

Carrying a roll of baking paper around is a bother when camping, but I wouldn't expect newspaper to hold up in boiling water. Maybe a bit of cheesecloth instead? (..which would need cleaning afterwards)

WHY DO THE JAPANESE SAY FLITHY GAIJIN??? Because they don't wash their rice.

A very very necessary part of cooking small-grain rice is to wash, and soak it for 10 minutes. Pour the rice in, add cold water, stir for a minute, drain after 5 minutes, and have a second go, draining (as well as possible) after 10 minutes.

Obviously a camper would save the drained rice-water. I find it's still drinkable and goes into the water bottles for the next day's traveling. Could also be used for other cooking, or even cleaning up.

Do that.

Of course, you add one gō of water.

Get the Jetboil on the lowest heat setting it can manage…

The rice is obviously being steamed here, and you don't want the water to boil away too soon. Don't remove the lid at any point!

It needs to boil for about 10 minutes. If you hear crackling noises, that's the run-out-of-water…which should happen at 10 minutes anyway.

Leave it to steam/stand for another 10 minutes.

Something I forgot the first photo ITT has a coffee filter that I tried using it didn't work too well, producing overcooked rice from water beneath the frypan part making contact with the water.

Anyway.. look at that delicious perfectly cooked sushi rice.

Last photo: serving suggestion, with curry sauce.

Eat with chopsticks, which you can do with small-grain rice that's cooked properly.

Give my regards to your Waifu.
