1
Rinse the Rice
Place the rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse it under cold running water for about 1-2 minutes until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch.
2
Boil Water
In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of water and 0.5 tsp of salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
3
Add Rice
Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed rice to the saucepan. Stir once to prevent sticking.
4
Simmer
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let the rice simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until all the water is absorbed.
5
Fluff the Rice
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Then, use a fork to fluff the rice gently.

6
Add to Bowl
Transfer the fluffed rice into a serving bowl.
7
Optional Additions
If desired, stir in 1 tbsp of butter or olive oil and mix in fresh herbs for added flavor.
8
Serve
Serve the rice warm as a side dish or as a base for your favorite toppings.
