Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

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

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Boil and Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Fluff and Serve

    After the cooking time, remove the saucepan from heat. Let it sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
