Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Start by rinsing the long grain rice under cold water to remove excess starch. This helps to keep the rice from becoming sticky.

  2. 2

    Boil the Water

    In a medium-sized pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add salt and optional butter or oil for flavor.

  3. 3

    Add the Rice

    Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed rice to the pot. Stir briefly to prevent clumping.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Cover the pot with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

  5. 5

    Fluff and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the pot from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork and serve.
