You don't need a rice cooker to make rice. Use this recipe to make basic white rice with a saucepan and it will come out perfectly every time if you follow the instructions. Just remember this ratio—two cups of water for every one cup of uncooked rice equals three cups of cooked rice. Plain white rice is a blank canvas to which you can add countless ingredients.
Ingredients
-
1/2 tsp. Salt
-
2 cups Water
-
1 cup Uncooked white rice, rinsed and drained
Method
-
01Gather the ingredients. Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Drain in a colander and set aside.
-
02In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add the salt, stir, and then add the rinsed and drained rice. Stir with a fork.
-
03Reduce the heat, cover the rice, and let it simmer for 20 minutes, checking after 15 minutes to see if all the water has evaporated. If it has, the rice is ready. If not, replace the lid and let the rice simmer an additional five minutes.
-
04Remove from heat, fluff with a fork, and turn out into a serving dish. Alternatively, add one tablespoon butter to the rice in the pot, add chopped parsley or another herb, stir, and then turn out onto a serving dish. Serve and enjoy!
