Recipe Tips

  • Make sure to rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove any excess starch.
  • Use a medium-sized saucepan with a tight-fitting lid to prevent the steam from escaping during cooking.
  • Do not lift the lid while the rice is cooking as this will release the steam and affect the cooking time.
  • Let the rice rest for 5 minutes after cooking to allow the steam to finish cooking the rice and for the grains to separate.
  • Fluff the rice gently with a fork to avoid breaking the grains.

Enjoy your delicious and fluffy basic white rice recipe!
