Cooking Instructions

1

Rinse the Rice

Place the white rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and prevents the rice from being sticky.

2

Boil Water

In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the salt and butter or olive oil, stirring to combine.

3

Add Rice

Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed white rice to the saucepan. Stir briefly to ensure the rice is evenly distributed.

4

Simmer

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

5

Fluff and Serve

Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Then, remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
