Rice Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 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 and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.

2. 2

   Boil Water

   In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the salt to the boiling water.

3. 3

   Add the Rice

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

4. 4

   Simmer

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

5. 5

   Fluff and Serve

   Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Then, uncover and fluff the rice with a fork. If desired, stir in butter or oil before serving.
