Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your dish.
  • Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking: This will remove the starch and help the rice cook evenly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the rice from sticking.
  • Bring the water to a boil before adding the rice: This will help to ensure that the rice cooks evenly.
  • Reduce the heat to low and simmer the rice for 18-20 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed: Do not lift the lid during this time.
  • Once the rice is cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes before fluffing it with a fork: This will help to prevent the rice from becoming sticky.
  • Serve the rice immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use: Leftover rice can be reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop.
