Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 cup short-grain white rice
  • 1¼ cups water
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • In a bowl, add the rice and cover with water. Mix the rice and then strain. Rinse the rice at least 3 times, or until the water runs clear.
  • In a small pot, add the rice, 1 ¼ cups water and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover and turn the heat to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes. Be sure not to remove the lid while cooking.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and quickly remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork. Cover with the lid and let steam for 10 minutes.
  • Tip: For more flavor, use chicken broth instead of water and stir in your favorite herbs: rosemary, thyme, oregano, etc.

Notes

For long grain white rice use: 1 cup rice to 2 cups water and simmer for 18 minutes.
For brown rice use: 1 cup rice and 1 ¾ cup water and simmer for 45 minutes.
