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. Add the salt and stir to dissolve.

  3. 3

    Add Rice

    Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed rice to the saucepan. Stir gently to ensure the rice is evenly distributed.

  4. 4

    Simmer

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

  5. 5

    Fluff and Serve

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