Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Place the white rice in a fine-mesh strainer or a bowl, and rinse it under cold running water. This helps to remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.

  2. 2

    Measure the Water

    In a medium saucepan, measure out 2 cups of water. If you prefer, you can add 1 tsp of salt to the water for added flavor.

  3. 3

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If desired, add 1 tbsp of butter or oil to the water for a richer flavor.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Combine Rice and Water

    Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan with the water and optional ingredients.

  2. 5

    Bring to a Boil

    Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low.

  3. 6

    Cover and Simmer

    Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and let it simmer on low heat for about 18-20 minutes without lifting the lid.

  4. 7

    Check for Doneness

    After 18-20 minutes, check the rice. It should be tender and the water should be absorbed. If not, cover and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  5. 8

    Fluff and Serve

    Once the rice is done, remove it from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork and serve.
