Sure, here is a recipe for cooking rice:
How To Cook Rice
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Long-grain white rice | 1 cup (185g) |
| Water | 1.5 cups (350ml) |
| Salt (optional) | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Butter, olive oil, or other cooking fat (optional) | 1 tablespoon |
Cooking Guide:
- Rinse the rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold running water until the water runs mostly clear. (Optional)
- Combine the rice, water, and salt (if using) in a medium saucepan. If using fat, add it now.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir once or twice to prevent sticking.
- Reduce heat to low, cover the pot tightly with a lid, and simmer for 18-20 minutes (or according to package instructions) without peeking or stirring.
- After cooking time is complete, remove the pot from the heat and let it sit undisturbed for 10 minutes with the lid still on. This allows the rice to steam and finish cooking.
- Fluff the rice gently with a fork and serve.
Tips:
- Different rice varieties may require slightly different water ratios and cooking times. Check the package instructions for specific guidance.
- The water ratio (1.5:1) is a good starting point for long-grain white rice. Adjust slightly based on your desired texture. Less water will result in drier rice, while more water will yield a moister texture.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot for even heat distribution and to prevent burning.
- Leftover rice can be reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of water to prevent drying.
I hope this helps!
