Method
Cooking the Rice
- 1
Rinse the rice
Place the long-grain rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch for fluffier rice.

Boil water
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.

Cook the rice
Add the rinsed rice to the boiling water. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

Fluff the rice
Once cooked, remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
