How do you cook calrose rice?

Ingredients and ratios:

- 1 cup calrose rice

- 1 3/4 cups water

- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Rinse the rice: Put the rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cool running water until the water runs clear.

2. Combine rice, water, and salt: In a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Give it a gentle stir to distribute the salt evenly.

3. Bring to a boil: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

4. Reduce heat and simmer: Once the water comes to a boil, immediately reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with the lid, and let the rice simmer undisturbed for 15 minutes. It's important to not lift the lid during this stage.

5. Let it rest (steaming phase): After the rice has simmered for 15 minutes, turn off the heat and let it sit for another 5-10 minutes with the lid still on. This steaming phase allows the rice to finish cooking and absorb any remaining moisture.

6. Fluff the rice: Use a fork or rice paddle to fluff the rice and separate the grains.

7. Serve: Your calrose rice is now cooked and ready to be enjoyed with your favorite dishes!
