Rice Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Place the long-grain white rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water for about 2-3 minutes until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Measure Water

    In a medium-sized pot, combine 2 cups of water and 0.5 tsp of salt. If desired, add 1 tbs of butter or oil for added flavor.

  3. 3

    Bring to a Boil

    Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.

  4. 4

    Add Rice

    Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed rice to the pot. Stir briefly to prevent sticking.

  5. 5

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

  6. 6

    Fluff and Serve

    Remove the pot from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork and serve.
