Cooking White Rice

Cooking White Rice

You will need:

2 cups Water
1 cup Long- or short-grain white rice

Methods:

• Pour water into a saucepan that has a lid that fits. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
• Add the rice to the boiling water, stir and lower the heat to a low simmer.
• Put the lid on the saucepan, and let it cook on low heat for 20 minutes. Do NOT lift the lid while cooking.
• When the 20 minutes are up, lift the lid and look at the rice. There should be no water left in the pot, and the top of the rice should look as if there are holes in it. Do not stir the rice, but taste a grain of rice to see if it has cooked. If not, replace the lid, without stirring, and let it cook for another 5 minutes, then taste it again.
• When it has cooked to your taste, remove the pan from the heat, and use a fork to fluff the rice in the saucepan. Serve with your favorite food.
