Main Ingredients
Method
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place 1 cup of white rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water for about 1-2 minutes until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.
- 2
Measure Water
In a medium saucepan, measure out 2 cups of water. The ratio of water to rice is typically 2:1 for white rice, ensuring it cooks evenly.
- 3
Combine Ingredients
Add the rinsed rice and 1 tsp of salt to the saucepan containing the measured water.
- 4
Bring to a Boil
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- 5
Simmer the Rice
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid. Let it simmer for 18-20 minutes without lifting the lid, allowing the rice to absorb the water.
- 6
Fluff the Rice
After 18-20 minutes, turn off the heat and let the rice sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. Then, remove the lid and use a fork to fluff the rice gently.
- 7
Serve
Spoon the cooked white rice into a serving dish and enjoy as a side or base for your favorite meals.
