White Rice

Ingredients

• 1 cups long-grain white rice – rinsed until water runs clear
• 1.75 cups water

Instructions

1. Place the long-grain white rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water, agitating with your fingers until the water runs mostly clear, 1–2 minutes; drain well.
2. Bring the measured water to a boil in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat.
3. Stir in the drained grains, return to a gentle boil, then cover, reduce heat to low, and cook at a bare simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the surface shows small steam holes, 15–18 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and keep covered to steam, 10 minutes. Uncover and fluff gently with a fork, then serve.
