How to Cook Long Grain White Rice

Introduction

I love rice but have never felt like I could make it well. Then, after a comment from a friend, I decided to make a concerted effort to learn how to cook long grain white rice correctly. It’s not that difficult and can make your next meal much more delicious! Here’s everything you need to know:

Rinse rice.

Rinse the rice in a colander under cold water. Place a bowl of cool water in your sink, and add the rinsed rice to it. Swirl and stir with your fingers until all of the grains are thoroughly wet, then drain through a fine mesh strainer into another bowl to catch any stray grains that may have escaped during washing. Use paper towels or clean kitchen towels to pat dry any excess moisture from each individual kernel, then transfer back onto its original plate (or into an airtight storage container).

Add water and bring to a boil.

Now that the rice is washed, it’s time to add water. Add 1 cup of water for every 1/2 cup of uncooked long grain white rice. Pour this into a pot with a tight-fitting lid and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 15 minutes (no peeking!).

Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes until water is absorbed.

You can use a rice cooker or a pot with a tight-fitting lid to cook long grain white rice. If using a pot and lid, place 1 cup of water in the bottom of your saucepan and add 1 cup of long grain white rice to it. Then bring everything up to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to low once boiling begins, cover tightly (with either an oven mitt or towel), then let simmer for 15 minutes until all liquid has evaporated from under lid (this should leave you with fluffy grains). Remove from heat and allow to stand covered for 10 minutes before serving!
