Cooking Instructions

1. Rinse the Rice

Place the short grain rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

2. Combine Ingredients

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt.

3. Bring to a Boil

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

4. Simmer

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

5. Let it Rest

Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes to allow the rice to steam.

6. Fluff and Serve

Fluff the rice with a fork and serve warm as a side dish or base for your favorite meals.
