Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    In a fine-mesh sieve, rinse the white rice under cold running water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, salt, and butter or oil.

  3. 3

    Bring to a Boil

    Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed.

  5. 5

    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.
