Easy White Rice

Ingredients

• 1½ cups Long-grain white rice, about 300g (such as jasmine)
• 2¼ cups Water, 560ml
• ½ tsp Salt

You’ll need: Medium saucepan with lid

Method

1. 1

   Rinse the rice in a sieve under cold running water for about 1 minute, until the water runs mostly clear. Drain well.

2. 2

   Put the rice, water and salt in a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Bring to the boil over high heat, uncovered, and stir once.

3. 3

   Turn the heat to its lowest setting, cover and cook for 12 minutes. Do not lift the lid.

4. 4

   Take off the heat and leave covered for 10 minutes. The rice finishes cooking in the steam.

5. 5

   Fluff with a fork. It is done when the water is absorbed, the grains are tender and the surface has small steam holes.
