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 removes excess starch, helping to keep the rice fluffy.
2
Combine Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. If desired, add butter or oil for extra flavor.
3
Bring to a Boil
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
4
Simmer and Cover
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan with a lid and let it simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed all the water.
5
Fluff the Rice
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Then, use a fork to fluff the rice before serving.
