Optional Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Measure Rice

    Use a measuring cup to measure 1 cup of rice and rinse it under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from being sticky.

  2. 2

    Boil Water

    In a medium-sized pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add 1 tsp of salt and stir to dissolve.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Add Rice

    Once the water is boiling, carefully add the rinsed rice to the pot. Stir it gently to prevent clumping.

  2. 4

    Simmer Rice

    Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes. Avoid lifting the lid during this time.

  3. 5

    Fluff Rice

    After the cooking time is complete, remove the pot from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. Then, remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve

    If using, add 1 tbsp of butter or olive oil for flavor and mix gently. Serve the rice warm as a side dish or base for your favorite meal.
