Share
Sure thing! Here’s a simple recipe for cooking rice:
Ingredients
– 1 cup (180g) of long-grain white rice
– 2 cups (475ml) of water
– Salt (optional)
Instructions
1. Rinse the rice in a fine mesh strainer under cold running water for about 30 seconds. This helps remove excess starch that can make the rice sticky.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, water, and a pinch of salt (if using). Bring to a boil over high heat.
3. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid. Simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender.
4. Remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
5. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve!
