How to Make White Rice (4 Steps)

The secret to making good rice is not to lift the lid while it's cooking. Serves four.

Things You'll Need

  • 2 c. rice
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • rice cookers
  • Rice Cookers

Instructions

  1. In a heavy pot with a lid, bring 2 c. water to a boil. Add rice and salt and lower heat.

  2. Cover the pot and simmer rice for 15 to 20 minutes.

  3. After 15 minutes, take off the pot lid and test a few grains of rice - if the center is at all crunchy, simmer a few more minutes.

  4. Test rice again. When it's done, fluff it with a fork to let steam escape and help keep grains separate.
