Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Place the white rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and helps prevent the rice from becoming sticky.

  2. 2

    Boil Water

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

  3. 3

    Add Rice

    Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed rice to the saucepan. Stir briefly to distribute the rice evenly.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let the rice simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until all 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 and stir in butter or olive oil before serving.
