1
Rinse the Rice
Place the white rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse it under cold water for about 1-2 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.
2
Boil Water
In a medium-sized saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over high heat.
3
Add Ingredients
Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed rice, salt, and butter or oil to the pot. Stir gently to combine.
4
Simmer
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed.
5
Fluff and Serve
Once the rice is cooked, remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork and serve.
