Rice Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Place the 1 cup of white rice in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse it under cold running water for about 2-3 minutes, or until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and prevents the rice from being gummy.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 2 cups of water, and 0.5 tsp of salt. Stir the mixture gently to distribute the salt.

  3. 3

    Bring to a Boil

    Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, give it a quick stir to ensure the rice is evenly distributed.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Rice

    Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and let it simmer for 18-20 minutes. Avoid lifting the lid during this time to retain steam.

  5. 5

    Fluff and Serve

    After the cooking time is complete, remove the saucepan from the heat. Let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. Finally, remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
