Prepare the Rice
Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium pot, combine the rinsed rice, 1 cup of water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.
