Short Grain Rice Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 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. 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.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    Fluff and Serve

    Remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Then, use a fork to fluff the rice gently before serving.
