Cooking Instructions
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place 1 cup of long-grain white rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse it under cold running water for about 1-2 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.
- 2
Boil Water
In a medium saucepan, add 2 cups of water and 0.5 tsp of salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
- 3
Add Rice to Boiling Water
Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed rice to the saucepan. Stir briefly to ensure the rice is evenly distributed.
- 4
Simmer the Rice
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let the rice simmer for 18-20 minutes. Avoid lifting the lid during this time to ensure proper cooking.
- 5
Fluff the Rice
After 18-20 minutes, turn off the heat and let the rice sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Then, use a fork to fluff the rice gently before serving.
