Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    In a fine mesh strainer, rinse the long grain white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and prevent the rice from becoming sticky.

  2. 2

    Boil Water

    In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the salt and stir to dissolve.

  3. 3

    Add Rice

    Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed rice to the saucepan. Stir briefly to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Cover the saucepan with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let the rice simmer for about 18-20 minutes without lifting the lid.

  5. 5

    Check for Doneness

    After 18 minutes, check the rice. If all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, remove from heat. If not, cover and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

  6. 6

    Fluff and Serve

    Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes. If using, stir in butter or oil. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
