Classic White Rice

4. 4

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and let it simmer.

5. 5

   Cook for about 18-20 minutes, or until the water is fully absorbed and the rice is tender.

   Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the rice to steam.

   Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
