White Rice Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the Rice

   Place the 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

   Boil the Water

   In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the salt to the water to enhance the flavor of the rice.

3. 3

   Cook the Rice

   Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed rice to the pot. Stir briefly to prevent sticking, then cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to low.

4. 4

   Simmer

   Allow the rice to simmer on low heat for about 18-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

5. 5

   Fluff and Serve

   Remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
