Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Place the white rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Boil the Water

    In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 0.5 tsp of salt to the boiling water.

  3. 3

    Add the Rice

    Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed white rice to the pot.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the rice simmer for about 18-20 minutes until all the water is absorbed.

  5. 5

    Fluff and Serve

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