Rice Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Start by rinsing the white rice under cold water in a fine mesh strainer until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.

  2. 2

    Boil Water

    In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over high heat. Add 0.5 tsp of salt for flavor.

  3. 3

    Add Rice

    Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed rice to the saucepan.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Stir the rice once, then reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, 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 an additional 5 minutes. Then, use a fork to fluff the rice before serving.
