Plain rice is a staple food that is enjoyed all around the world. Whether you’re cooking it for a meal or as an accompaniment, getting the perfect fluffy rice can sometimes be a challenge. But fear not! This step-by-step guide will teach you how to prepare perfect plain rice every time.

What You’ll Need:

  • 1 cup of rice
  • 2 cups of water
  • A saucepan with a tight-fitting lid
  • A fork or a spoon for fluffing

Step 1: Rinse the Rice

Measure out 1 cup of rice and rinse it under cold water. Use your fingers to gently swirl the rice around to remove any excess starch. Continue rinsing until the water runs clear.

Step 2: Soak the Rice (Optional)

Soaking the rice can help to remove additional starch and give you fluffier rice. Place the rinsed rice in a bowl and cover it with cold water. Let it soak for 15-30 minutes, then drain the water.

Step 3: Measure the Water

For every cup of rice, you’ll need 2 cups of water. Measure out the water and set it aside.

Step 4: Cook the Rice

Place the rinsed and drained rice in a saucepan. Add the measured water to the pan and bring it to a boil over medium heat.

Once the water starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with the lid. Let the rice simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed.

Step 5: Fluff and Serve

Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Then, using a fork or a spoon, fluff the rice to separate the grains and release the steam.

Serve your perfect plain rice as a side dish or as a base for your favorite recipes. Enjoy!

Tips for Perfect Plain Rice:

  • Use long-grain rice such as basmati or jasmine for the fluffiest results.
  • Avoid peeking or stirring the rice while it’s cooking to prevent the steam from escaping.
  • For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of salt or a knob of butter to the rice while cooking.

Now that you have the perfect recipe for plain rice, you can confidently prepare this versatile dish whenever you need it. Enjoy your tasty and fluffy rice!
