Are you tired of ending up with sticky or mushy white rice? Don’t worry; we’ve got you covered! Follow our step-by-step guide to making perfect plain white rice every time. It’s simpler than you think!

Gather Your Ingredients and Equipment

Before we dive into the cooking process, let’s make sure we have everything we need:

  • 1 cup of long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups of water
  • A medium-sized saucepan with a tight-fitting lid
  • A fork

Preparation

1. Rinse the Rice

Start by rinsing the rice under cold water. This helps remove any excess starch that can make the rice stickier. Rinse until the water runs clear.

2. Soak the Rice (optional)

If you have some extra time, you can soak the rice for about 15 minutes. This step helps to achieve a fluffier texture. However, soaking is not mandatory.

Cooking Process

1. Measure the Rice and Water Ratio

For every cup of rice, you’ll need two cups of water. This ratio ensures that the rice is perfectly cooked, neither too dry nor too mushy.

2. Boil the Water

Pour the water into the saucepan and bring it to a boil over high heat.

3. Add the Rice

Once the water is boiling, carefully add the rinsed rice to the pot. Give it a gentle stir to ensure it’s evenly distributed.

4. Reduce the Heat

Reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with the lid. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes. Avoid lifting the lid during this time, as it disrupts the cooking process.

5. Let it Rest

After the 15 minutes, turn off the heat and let the rice rest for an additional 5 minutes. This allows any remaining moisture to be absorbed and ensures the rice is fully cooked.

6. Fluff with a Fork

Using a fork, gently fluff the rice to separate the grains. This step prevents the rice from clumping together.

Serve and Enjoy!

Now that your plain white rice is ready, you can serve it as a delicious side dish or use it as a base for various recipes. Enjoy your perfectly cooked, fluffy rice!

Remember, making plain white rice takes practice. Don’t be discouraged if your first few attempts are not perfect. With time, you’ll master the art of making the ideal rice.
