Rice

  • 1 cup Long-grain white rice For fluffy effect
  • 2 cups Water Use for long-grain white rice

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Rinse the rice under cold water, swishing around until water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  • Shake the pot gently to even out the rice and water.

Cooking

  • Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat.

  • After cooking, remove the pot from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes.
