Preparation
1. Rinse the Rice
Place the white rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse it under cold running water for about 1-2 minutes until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and helps prevent the rice from becoming gummy.
2. Measure Water
In a medium-sized pot, measure out 2 cups of water. This will be used for cooking the rice.
3. Add Salt
Add 0.5 tsp of salt to the water in the pot. Stir to dissolve the salt evenly in the water.
Cooking
4. Combine Rice and Water
Add the rinsed rice to the pot of salted water. Stir gently to distribute the rice evenly in the water.
5. Bring to a Boil
Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, do not stir the rice.
6. Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this time as it will release steam.
Serving
8. Optional Additions
If desired, you can add 1 tablespoon of butter to the rice while fluffing for extra flavor. Toss in fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for a fresh touch.
9. Serve
Serve the steamed rice hot as a side dish alongside your favorite main courses.
