Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
Rinse the Rice
Place the long-grain white rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse it under cold running water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.
Measure Water
In a medium saucepan, measure 2 cups of water. This will be used to cook the rinsed rice.
Add Salt
Add 0.5 tsp of salt to the water in the saucepan. This enhances the flavor of the rice.
Add Butter or Oil (optional)
If desired, add 1 tablespoon of butter or oil to the water for added flavor and richness.
Cooking
Bring Water to a Boil
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil.
Add Rice
Once the water is boiling, carefully add the rinsed rice to the pot. Stir briefly to prevent sticking.
Simmer the Rice
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let the rice simmer. Cook for 18-20 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed.
