Rinse the rice 2 to 3 times, leave it submerged for 30 minutes in cold water, and drain it in a sieve for 10 minutes. Spread the hemp seeds in a dry pan heated over medium-low heat and stir continuously for 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer them to a plate as soon as they begin to pop lightly and let them cool. Combine the drained rice and cooled seeds in a rice cooker or pot. Dissolve the salt in 360 ml water and pour it evenly over the mixture. Use the normal white rice setting or the usual plain-rice method for a pot. Keep the lid closed for 10 minutes after cooking, then lift the rice from the bottom with a paddle so the seeds are distributed throughout both servings.
