Ingredients
Method
Steps
- 1
Rinse the rice
Rinse the rice under cold running water in a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear. Swirl occasionally to loosen surface starch, then drain well.
- 2
Combine rice, water, salt, and oil
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed and drained rice, water, salt, and oil (if using). Stir to distribute the salt and oil evenly.
- 3
Bring to a boil and simmer
Set the saucepan over high heat until the liquid comes to a rolling boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
- 4
Steam off heat
Turn off the heat and keep the pot covered. Let the rice steam in the residual heat for 5 minutes to finish absorbing moisture.
- 5
Fluff and serve
Remove the lid, fluff the rice gently with a fork, and serve warm.
