Method
Cooking the Rice
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the long-grain white rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch.

Boil Water
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 0.5 tsp of salt to the water.

Cook the Rice
Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed rice to the pot. Stir briefly, cover with a lid, and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed.
