Rice Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Place the white rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse it under cold running water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and helps to prevent the rice from becoming too sticky.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Bring to a Boil

    Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Simmer

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

  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 before serving.
