Ingredients
Method
Directions
- 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 prevents the rice from being sticky.
- 2
Boil Water
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 0.5 tsp of salt to the water for flavor.
- 3
Add Rice
Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed rice to the saucepan. Stir briefly to separate any clumps.
- 4
Simmer
Cover the saucepan with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
