WHITE RICE RECIPE BY TASTY



White Rice Recipe by Tasty image

Getting fluffy, fully-cooked white rice without burning the bottom isn't hard, but there are a few steps to make the process a little easier. You'll always want to rinse white rice in a sieve until the water is clear to remove excess starch that can make the rice gummy and unevenly cooked. You should also let the rice steam for five minutes before you fluff with a fork, so that the rice doesn't dry out or get clumpy. Enjoy your now-perfect rice!

PERFECT WHITE RICE



Perfect White Rice image

It is possible to make perfectly fluffy white rice on the stovetop. Sauteing the rice first helps keep the rice grains separate. Keeping the pot covered for the entire cooking time traps the steam which is necessary for properly cooking the rice, and is very important. The last 5 minutes off the heat allow the rice to finish in the residual steam, without burning the bottom.

PERFECT WHITE RICE

Make perfect white rice every time with this recipe from "Martha Stewart's Cooking School."

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains     Rice Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 cup long-grain white rice
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in rice and salt and return to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid, 16 to 18 minutes (check only toward the end of cooking time). The rice should be studded with craters, or steam holes, when it is ready.
  • Remove from heat and let steam, covered, for 10 minutes. Then fluff with a fork and serve.

Tips:

  • Use the right type of rice. Medium-grain rice, such as Calrose or Arborio, is best for white rice. It cooks quickly and has a slightly sticky texture.
  • Rinse the rice before cooking. This removes the starch from the rice, which helps to prevent it from clumping together.
  • Use the right ratio of water to rice. The general rule is 1 cup of rice to 1.5 cups of water. However, you may need to adjust this ratio depending on the type of rice you are using and your desired consistency.
  • Bring the water to a boil before adding the rice. This helps to prevent the rice from sticking to the pot.
  • Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer the rice until it is tender. This usually takes about 18 minutes.
  • Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it stand for 5 minutes before fluffing it with a fork. This helps to separate the grains of rice.

Conclusion:

White rice is a versatile and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. By following these tips, you can cook perfect white rice every time.
