1
Rinse the Rice
Place the 2 cups of white rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water for about 2-3 minutes or until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.
2
Combine Ingredients
In a large saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 4 cups of water, and 1 tsp of salt. If desired, add 2 tbsp of butter for flavor.

3
Bring to a Boil
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.
4
Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and let the rice simmer for 18-20 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this time as this will release steam and affect the cooking process.
5
Check for Doneness
After 18 minutes, check to see if the rice has absorbed all the water. If there is still water remaining, cover and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
6
Fluff and Serve
Once the rice is fully cooked and all water is absorbed, remove the saucepan from heat. Let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Then, remove the lid and fluff the rice gently with a fork before serving.
