Cooking Instructions
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the long-grain white rice in a fine-mesh strainer. Rinse the rice under cold running water for about 1-2 minutes until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming sticky.
- 2
Combine Ingredients
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 2 cups of water, and 0.5 tsp of salt. Stir gently to combine.
- 3
Bring to a Boil
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once it reaches a rolling boil, do not stir the rice.
- 4
Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Allow the rice to simmer for about 18-20 minutes without lifting the lid.
- 5
Fluff the Rice
After 18-20 minutes, turn off the heat and let the rice sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. Then, remove the lid and use a fork to fluff the rice gently.
- 6
Serve
Transfer the steamed rice to a serving bowl and serve warm as a side dish with your favorite main course.
