Classic Steamed Rice

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

   In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt.

3. 3

   Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the water to a boil.

4. 4

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and let it simmer for 18-20 minutes.

5. 5

   After the cooking time, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes to allow the rice to finish steaming.

6. 6

   Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
