No-Fail Rice Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 cup rice
• 1¼ cup water
• ½ tsp salt

Instructions

• 1 Start by rinsing your 1 cup of white rice thoroughly under cold water using a
  fine-mesh sieve. This process, which might take a minute, is important to wash
  away the starchy residue that could cause the rice to stick together during
  cooking. If you don't have a sieve, you can also rinse in a bowl with several
  changes of water, ensuring to drain carefully each time. Once rinsed, combine
  the rice, ½ teaspoon of kosher salt, and 1¼ cups of water in a medium saucepan.
• 2 Stir the mixture gently and then bring it to a boil. Once boiling, secure a
  tight-fitting lid onto your saucepan and reduce the heat to low. Aim for the
  smallest possible flame to cook your rice gently and evenly. The critical point
  here is not to disturb the rice during this 18-minute cooking phase – resist the
  urge to lift the lid and check!
• 3 After 18 minutes, take the saucepan off the heat. Allow it to stand for a
  minimum of 15 minutes, or until you're ready to serve the rice. When it's time
  to serve, uncover the saucepan and use a fork to fluff up the beautifully cooked
  rice.
