Ingredients

  • 3 cups Water
  • cup Long Grain White Rice
  • teaspoon Salt we use kosher salt

Instructions

  • Bring the water to a boil in a medium sauce pan.
  • Once the water is boiling, add the rice and salt to the pan. Stir to break up any clumps.
  • Lower the heat to medium when the water comes back to a boil.
  • Simmer the rice, uncovered until most of the water has cooked out and the rice can be seen on the surface, approximately 7-10 minutes. Stir the rice only 1 or 2 times to make sure it’s not sticking to the bottom.
  • At this point the rice should still have a “soupy” consistency but should not sink to the bottom when stirred.
  • Give the rice one last good stir; lower the heat to low and cover the pot.
  • Cook the rice for 25 minutes or until done. Do not stir the rice after it’s covered.
  • Fluff with a fork and serve.
