Rice Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

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

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

Add Rice

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

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

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.
