Cooking Instructions

  1. 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. This helps remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, add the rinsed rice, 2 cups of water, and 0.5 tsp of salt. Stir to combine the ingredients evenly.

  3. 3

    Bring to a Boil

    Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once it starts boiling, give it a quick stir to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Rice

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

  5. 5

    Fluff the Rice

    Once the rice is cooked, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Then use a fork to fluff the rice gently.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Transfer the fluffed rice to a serving bowl or individual bowls. Enjoy your perfectly cooked white rice as a base for various dishes.
