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 helps achieve fluffy rice.
2
Boil Water
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, salt, and butter or oil. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
3
Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it simmer for 18-20 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this time, as it will release steam.
4
Fluff and Serve
After the cooking time is complete, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for another 5 minutes. Then, remove the lid, fluff the rice with a fork, and serve hot.
