Rice Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

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

  2. 2

    Boil Water

    In a medium-sized saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the salt and stir to dissolve.

  3. 3

    Add Rice

    Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed rice to the saucepan. Stir briefly to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    Simmer

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

  5. 5

    Fluff and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the saucepan from heat. Let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork and add butter or oil if desired before serving.
