Rice Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the Rice

   Place the white rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water for about 1-2 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.

2. 2

   Boil the Water

   In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of water and 0.5 tsp of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

3. 3

   Add the Rice

   Once the water is boiling, carefully add the rinsed rice to the saucepan. Stir once to ensure the rice is evenly distributed.

4. 4

   Simmer

   Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and let the rice simmer for about 18-20 minutes. Avoid lifting the lid during cooking.

5. 5

   Check for Doneness

   After 18 minutes, check the rice. If all the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender, it's done. If not, cover and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

6. 6

   Fluff and Serve

   Once cooked, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for another 5 minutes. Then, use a fork to fluff the rice gently. If desired, stir in 1 tbsp of butter for added flavor before serving.
