Rice Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Place the long-grain white rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Stir gently to mix.

  3. 3

    Bring to a Boil

    Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the water.

  5. 5

    Fluff and Serve

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