Main Ingredients

Optional Seasoning

Method

Cooking the Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Start by measuring 2 cups of short grain rice and rinse it under cold water in a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and helps achieve a fluffy texture.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 2.5 cups of water, and 1 tsp of salt. Stir gently to mix.

  3. 3

    Bring to Boil

    Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Once boiling, 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 and the rice is tender.

  5. 5

    Rest

    Turn off the heat and let the rice sit, covered, for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow it to steam and finish cooking.

  6. 6

    Fluff the Rice

    Using a fork, gently fluff the rice to separate the grains before serving.

Optional Seasoning

  1. 7

    Add Butter

    If desired, stir in 2 tablespoons of butter into the hot rice until melted for a richer flavor.

  2. 8

    Add Soy Sauce

    Drizzle 2 tablespoons of soy sauce over the rice and mix gently to combine, enhancing the umami flavor.

  3. 9

    Garnish with Green Onions

    Chop 2 stalks of green onions and sprinkle over the rice for a fresh and crunchy texture.
