Cooking Instructions
- 1
Rinse the Rice
In a fine-mesh strainer, rinse the white rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.
- 2
Combine Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Stir briefly to distribute the salt.
- 3
Boil Water
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- 4
Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed all the water.
- 5
Let it Rest
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes to allow the rice to finish cooking.
- 6
Fluff and Serve
Use a fork to fluff the rice gently before serving. Enjoy your fluffy steamed white rice!
