Ingredients - Steamed Rice GF

Method

Directions - Steamed Rice GF

  1. 1

    Rinse 2 cups of long-grain white rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. This removes surface starch and helps keep grains separate.

  2. 2

    Optional: Soak the rinsed rice in fresh water for 15-30 minutes, then drain. Soaking can improve texture and evenness of cooking.

  3. 3

    In a heavy-bottomed pot with a tight-fitting lid, combine the rinsed (or soaked and drained) rice, 2.5 cups water, 0.5 tsp salt, and 1 tablespoon olive oil (if using).

  4. 4

    Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until the water is fully absorbed and the rice is tender.

  5. 5

    Turn off the heat and let the rice rest, still covered, for 5-10 minutes to finish steaming.

  6. 6

    Fluff the rice gently with a fork before serving. Keep covered if not serving immediately.
