Rice Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Begin by rinsing the rice under cold water in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.

  2. 2

    Boil Water

    In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the salt and butter (or olive oil) to the boiling water.

  3. 3

    Add Rice

    Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed rice to the pot. Stir gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Simmer

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

  5. 5

    Fluff the Rice

    Remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Then, remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
