White Rice Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the Rice

   Place the white rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water for about 1-2 minutes, until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.

2. 2

   Combine Ingredients

   In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Stir briefly to mix.

3. 3

   Bring to a Boil

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

4. 4

   Simmer the Rice

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this time.

5. 5

   Fluff and Serve

   After the cooking time is up, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for another 5 minutes. Then, remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
