Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the long-grain rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse it under cold running water for about 1-2 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps prevent the rice from becoming gummy.

Cooking Steps

Bring to a Boil
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the water to a boil. Once it reaches a rolling boil, reduce the heat to low.
- 4
Simmer
Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and let the rice simmer on low heat for about 18-20 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed.
- 5
Let it Rest
After the cooking time, remove the saucepan from heat but keep it covered. Let the rice rest for an additional 10 minutes. This allows the rice to continue steaming and ensures it is fluffy.
