Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Start by rinsing the white rice under cold water in a fine mesh strainer until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and helps prevent the rice from becoming gummy.

  2. 2

    Measure Water

    In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of water with 0.5 tsp of salt. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Add Rice

    Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed white rice to the saucepan and stir briefly to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let the rice simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

  5. 5

    Fluff and Serve

    After the cooking time, remove the saucepan from heat. Let the rice sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
