White Rice Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the Rice

   Place the white rice in a fine-mesh strainer or bowl and rinse under cold running water for about 1-2 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.

2. 2

   Boil Water

   In a medium-sized pot, add 2 cups of water and 0.5 tsp of salt. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

3. 3

   Add Rice

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

4. 4

   Simmer

   Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, reduce the heat to low, and let the rice simmer for about 18-20 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this time, as it will release steam.

5. 5

   Fluff and Serve

   After 18-20 minutes, remove the pot from heat. Let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Then, remove the lid, fluff the rice with a fork, and serve.
