Method
Preparation
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the white rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water for about 2-3 minutes, or until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.

Bring to a Boil
Place the saucepan over high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil.

Simmer and Cover
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this time to ensure even cooking.

Check for Doneness
After 18-20 minutes, check if the rice has absorbed all the water. If it has, remove it from heat. If there is still water, cover and let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
