White Rice Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the Rice

   Place the white rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse it under cold water for about 1-2 minutes until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and helps prevent the rice from becoming gummy.

2. 2

   Boil Water

   In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over high heat. Add the salt and stir to dissolve.

3. 3

   Add Rice

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

4. 4

   Simmer

   Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the water is completely absorbed and the rice is tender.

5. 5

   Fluff and Serve

   Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Then, use a fork to fluff the rice. If desired, stir in butter or oil before serving.
