Cooking Instructions
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the white rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.
- 2
Combine Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Stir to combine.
- 3
Bring to a Boil
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
- 4
Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it simmer for about 18 minutes, or until the water is fully absorbed and the rice is tender.
