Step-by-step instructions:
1. Rinse the glutinous rice until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for at least 30 minutes.
2. In a pot, bring the 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the soaked glutinous rice and pandan leaves. Stir and reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the water has been absorbed.
