All you need to know about: How To Cook Rice On The Stove Top.

Ingredients

-1 cup of long-grain white rice
-2 cups of water

Instructions

1. Begin by measuring out 1 cup of long-grain white rice. Make sure the cup you use is a dry-measuring cup.

2. Rinse the rice in a fine mesh strainer. Place the measured rice in the strainer and rinse with cold water for 1-2 minutes. This step helps to remove any surface starch and makes for a much fluffier and lighter end result.

3. Next, bring the 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium-sized pot.

4. Once boiling, add the rinsed rice to the pot and stir once.

5. Place a lid on the pot, turn the heat down to low, and let the rice simmer for 18 minutes.

6. After 18 minutes, turn the heat off and let the rice rest for 10 minutes.

7. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve. Enjoy!

Tips

-For a richer flavor, consider using chicken or vegetable broth instead of water.

-For extra flavor, add a few tablespoons of butter or olive oil to the boiling water before adding the rice.

-If you’re looking for a heartier side dish, you can add diced vegetables, herbs, and spices to the boiling water before adding the rice.

-For a nuttier flavor and texture, try toasting the rice in a dry pan for a few minutes before adding the boiling water.
