1
For White Rice
Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt in a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
2
For Brown Rice
Rinse the brown rice under cold water. Combine the rinsed rice, water (2.5 cups), and salt in a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
3
For Sticky Rice
Rinse the sticky rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rinsed rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight. Drain the rice and place it in a steamer lined with cheesecloth. Steam for 20-25 minutes until tender and sticky. Serve warm.
