Method
Preparation
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place 1 cup of white rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse it under cold running water. This helps to remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming too sticky.
- 2
Combine Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 2 cups of water, and 0.5 tsp of salt. Stir gently to mix the ingredients.
Cooking
- 3
Bring to a Boil
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low.
- 4
Simmer
Cover the saucepan with a lid and let the rice simmer for about 18-20 minutes. Do not lift the lid during cooking, as this can disrupt the steaming process.
- 5
Check for Doneness
After 18-20 minutes, check if the rice has absorbed all the water and is tender. If needed, let it cook for a few more minutes.
