Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Place the rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and helps to prevent the rice from being gummy.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Stir to combine.

  3. 3

    Bring to a Boil

    Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

  5. 5

    Fluff and Serve

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