Method
Preparation
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the long grain rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse it under cold running water for about 2-3 minutes, or until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.
- 2
Measure Water
In a medium saucepan, measure out 2 cups of water. This will ensure that the rice cooks properly without drying out.
Cooking

Combine Ingredients
Add the rinsed rice and 1 teaspoon of salt to the saucepan with the water. Stir gently to combine.
- 4
Boil the Water
Place the saucepan over high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil. Watch closely to prevent it from boiling over.
- 5
Simmer the Rice
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and let the rice simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed.
