Notes

Cooking Long Grain White Rice

Here's a simple method to cook fluffy white rice:
  1. Measure 1 ½ cups of rice and 3 cups of water (can be doubled).
  2. Rinse the rice under cold water to remove any excess starch. Place the rice in a fine-mesh sieve or colander and run it under water until the water runs clear.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the water to a boil.
  4. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, add the rice and stir it. Reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Allow the rice to simmer gently for 18 minutes, undisturbed. Avoid opening the lid during this time.
  5. After the cooking time, turn off the heat and remove the lid. Use a fork to fluff the rice gently.
