Ingredients for Steamed Rice
Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the long-grain white rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cool running water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and prevent the rice from becoming gummy.
- 2
Boil Water
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over high heat. Add the salt to the boiling water.

Add Rice
Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed rice to the pot. Stir gently to ensure the rice is evenly distributed in the water.
- 4
Simmer
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this time.
