Main Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    Rinse the long-grain white rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Boil the Water

    In a large pot, bring 50 cups of water to a boil. Add the salt and stir to dissolve.

  3. 3

    Cook the Rice

    Add the rinsed rice to the boiling water. Stir once to prevent sticking, then cover the pot with a lid.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low and let the rice simmer for about 20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed.

  5. 5

    Rest

    Remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes to allow the rice to steam.

  6. 6

    Fluff and Serve

    After resting, fluff the rice gently with a fork and stir in butter or oil before serving.
