White Rice Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the Rice

   Place the white rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse it under cold water. Swirl the rice with your hand to remove excess starch. Rinse until the water runs clear.

2. 2

   Measure Water

   In a medium saucepan, measure out 2 cups of water. This will be used to cook the rice.

3. 3

   Combine Ingredients

   Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan with the measured water. Add 0.5 tsp of salt for flavor. If desired, add 1 tablespoon of butter or oil to enhance the taste.

4. 4

   Bring to Boil

   Turn the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Keep an eye on it to prevent overflow.

5. 5

   Simmer

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it simmer. Cook for about 18-20 minutes or until all the water is absorbed.

6. 6

   Fluff the Rice

   After 18-20 minutes, remove the saucepan from heat but keep it covered. Let it sit for 5 minutes. Then, uncover and fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the white rice warm as a side dish or as a base for your favorite meal.
