Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Place the white rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Boil the Water

    In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over high heat. Add the salt to the boiling water.

  3. 3

    Add the Rice

    Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed white rice to the saucepan. Stir briefly to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    Simmer

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

  5. 5

    Fluff and Serve

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