Rice Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Place the white rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse it under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and helps to prevent the rice from becoming gummy.

  2. 2

    Boil Water

    In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. You can add a pinch of salt for flavor if desired.

  3. 3

    Cook the Rice

    Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed rice to the saucepan. Stir once, then reduce heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until the water is absorbed.

  4. 4

    Fluff and Serve

    After 18-20 minutes, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for another 5 minutes. Then, remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
