Ready in under 30 minutes, this easy rice recipe pairs beautifully with nearly any dish, making it a must-have in your culinary repertoire. Perfect your rice game with this foolproof method!
Rinse the rice under cold running water until the water runs clear, which removes excess starch that can cause the rice to become sticky.
In a medium-sized saucepan, bring the 2 cups of water to a boil over high heat.
Add the rinsed rice and salt to the boiling water. Stir once or twice to combine.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and let the rice simmer undisturbed for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, remove the saucepan from heat, but keep it covered. Allow the rice to rest off the heat for an additional 5 minutes to finish cooking in its own steam.
Uncover the saucepan and fluff the rice gently with a fork to separate the grains. It is now ready to be served.
