Rice Ingredients
Method
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the white rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.
- 2
Prepare the Pot
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Stir briefly to distribute the salt.
- 3
Bring to a Boil
Place the saucepan over high heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
- 4
Simmer the Rice
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
