Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Measure the Rice

    Measure out 10 cups of white or brown rice using a standard measuring cup.

  2. 2

    Rinse the Rice

    Place the measured rice in a large bowl and rinse under cold water to remove excess starch. Rinse until the water runs clear, then drain thoroughly.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large pot, combine the rinsed rice, 20 cups of water, and 2 tablespoons of salt.

  2. 4

    Bring to a Boil

    Cover the pot and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low.

  3. 5

    Simmer

    Let the rice simmer on low heat for 18-20 minutes for white rice, or 40-45 minutes for brown rice, until all the water is absorbed.

  4. 6

    Fluff the Rice

    Once the rice has finished cooking, remove it from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 10 minutes. Then, fluff the rice gently with a fork.
