Ingredients:
- 1 cup (200g) long-grain white rice
- 2 cups (475ml) water
- ½ teaspoon (3g) salt
- 1 tablespoon (14g) unsalted butter or oil (optional)
Instructions:
- Place rice in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear (about 1-2 minutes).
- In the saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, salt, and butter/oil (if using).
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, uncovered.
- Reduce heat to the lowest possible setting, cover the saucepan tightly with the lid, and simmer for 18 minutes. Do not lift the lid!
- Remove the saucepan from the heat without lifting the lid and let it stand for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, remove the lid and fluff the rice gently with a fork to separate the grains. Serve immediately.
