Rice Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Place the long-grain white rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Boil the Water

    In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the salt to the water once it starts boiling.

  3. 3

    Cook the Rice

    Add the rinsed rice to the boiling water. Stir once to separate any clumps, then reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

  4. 4

    Fluff and Serve

    Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork and serve as a side dish.
