Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 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. 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

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the rinsed rice and 1 teaspoon of salt to the saucepan with the water. Stir gently to combine.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 6

    Fluff the Rice

    After the cooking time is up, remove the saucepan from heat but keep it covered. Let it sit for an additional 5 minutes to steam. Then, use a fork to fluff the rice gently.

  5. 7

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If desired, stir in 1 tablespoon of butter for richness, season with pepper to taste, and mix in any fresh herbs you prefer.
