Rice Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the Rice

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

2. 2

   Boil the Water

   In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add salt and butter or oil, if using.

3. 3

   Add the Rice

   Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed rice to the pot. Stir briefly to prevent sticking.

4. 4

   Simmer the Rice

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

5. 5

   Let it Rest

   Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes to allow the rice to finish cooking.

6. 6

   Fluff and Serve

   Use a fork to fluff the rice gently before serving. Enjoy your perfectly cooked rice!
