White Rice Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the Rice

   Place 1 cup of white rice in a fine-mesh sieve or colander. Rinse under cold running water for about 1-2 minutes, or until the water runs clear. This step removes excess starch and helps prevent the rice from becoming gummy.

2. 2

   Boil the Water

   In a medium saucepan, add 2 cups of water and 0.5 tsp of salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.

3. 3

   Add the Rice

   Once the water reaches a rolling boil, add the rinsed rice to the pot. Stir briefly to prevent the rice from sticking together.

4. 4

   Simmer the Rice

   Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let the rice simmer for about 18-20 minutes. Do not remove the lid during this time, as it can disrupt the steaming process.

5. 5

   Fluff the Rice

   After 18-20 minutes, remove the pot from heat. Let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Then, remove the lid and use a fork to fluff the rice gently.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the white rice warm as a base for your favorite dishes or alongside a protein and vegetables.
