Rinsing helps remove excess starch, which can make the rice sticky. For most types of rice, rinse until the water runs clear.
4. Cooking the Rice:
Stovetop method: Add rice and water to a pot, bring it to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for the appropriate time (usually 18-20 minutes for white rice, 40-45 minutes for brown rice).
Rice cooker: Add rice and water in the correct ratio, set the cooker, and let it do its job.
5. Let It Rest:
After cooking, let the rice sit covered for 5-10 minutes to allow the steam to finish cooking it and make it fluffier.
6. Fluff with a Fork:
After resting, gently fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains.
That's it! By just using rice and water, you get perfectly cooked rice. Let me know if you want more specific tips based on the type of rice you're using.
