Method
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Rinse the white rice under cold water in a fine mesh strainer until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and helps prevent the rice from becoming gummy.
- 2
Boil Water
In a medium-sized pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the salt and stir to dissolve.
- 3
Add Rice
Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed white rice to the pot. Stir briefly to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.
- 4
Simmer
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
