Short Grain Rice Ingredients
Method
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Begin by rinsing the short grain rice under cold water in a fine mesh strainer until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming too sticky.
- 2
Combine Ingredients
In a medium-sized pot, combine the rinsed short grain rice, water, and salt. Stir briefly to ensure the salt is evenly distributed.

Cook the Rice
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
