1
Rinse the Rice
Place the white rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from being too sticky.
2
Combine Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Stir gently to combine.
3
Bring to a Boil
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
4
Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until the water is fully absorbed.
5
Fluff and Serve
Once the rice is cooked, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Then, remove the lid, fluff the rice with a fork, and serve.
