How To Cook Rice

(makes approx. 6 cups cooked rice)

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rice
  • 4 cups water
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt

To cook the rice:

Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Stir in 2 cups of rice and salt. Return to rolling boil. Reduce to medium low and cover. Set timer for 18 minutes. Stir again after about 7 minutes but stir too often. This is only to assure the rice doesn't clump up. Recover and wait. Check when timer alarms. Stir gently and taste. If it's not crunchy, remove from heat and uncover. DO NOT RINSE! If your pot hold a lot of heat, remove rice to a bowl to stop cooking process.
