Method
Preparation
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the long-grain white rice in a fine mesh strainer. Rinse under cold running water for 2-3 minutes until the water runs clear, removing excess starch.

Combine Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 2 cups of water, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir to ensure the rice is evenly distributed in the water.
Cooking
- 3
Bring to Boil
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Watch carefully to avoid overflowing.

Simmer
As soon as the water reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes.

Check for Doneness
After 18 minutes, check the rice. The water should be fully absorbed, and the rice should be tender. If it's still hard and there is water left, cover and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
