Cooking Instructions
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the 1 cup of white rice in a fine-mesh strainer or sieve. Rinse under cold running water for 2-3 minutes to remove excess starch until the water runs clear.
- 2
Boil Water
In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of water and 1 tsp of salt. Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- 3
Add Rice
Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed rice to the saucepan. Stir gently to prevent the rice from sticking together.
- 4
Simmer
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and let the rice simmer for 18-20 minutes without lifting the lid.
- 5
Check for Doneness
After 18 minutes, remove the lid and check if the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. If needed, cover and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
