How to Make Basic Cooked Rice
- Rinse 1 cup of uncooked long-grain white rice in a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 2 cups of water, and a pinch of salt.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan tightly with a lid, and simmer for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, remove from heat and let the rice stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Fluff the rice with a fork before serving. Enjoy immediately or store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
