Ingredients
Method
Directions
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the white rice in a fine mesh strainer or bowl. Rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.

- 3
Boil
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it reaches a rolling boil, reduce the heat to low.
- 4
Simmer
Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and let the rice simmer for about 18-20 minutes. Do not lift the lid during cooking, as this can release steam and affect the cooking process.
- 5
Check for Doneness
After 18-20 minutes, remove the saucepan from heat. Let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes to allow the rice to finish cooking in its steam.
- 6
Fluff and Serve
Remove the lid and use a fork to fluff the rice gently. Serve warm as a side dish or as a base for your favorite dishes.
