How to Cook Rice Perfectly EVERY Time
Rinse 1 cup rice in a strainer under cold running water for 30 seconds. Bring 4 or 5 cups water to a boil in a large pot with a tight-fitting lid over high heat. Add the rice, stir it once, and boil, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Pour the rice into a strainer over the sink. Let the rice drain for 10 seconds, then return it to the pot, off the heat. Cover the pot and set it aside to allow the rice to steam for 10 minutes. Uncover the rice, fluff with a fork, and season with salt. (Note: If you want to double the recipe, you will need 2 cups rice and about 8 cups water)
