How to Cook Rice
Learn how to cook rice on the stove! This easy method yields soft, fluffy white rice every time.
Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked white rice, well rinsed
- 1½ cups water
- 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Combine the rinsed rice, water, and olive oil in a pot and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 more minutes. Fluff with a fork.
Notes
This rice to water ratio also works in a rice cooker using the white rice setting. If you're using a rice cooker to cook your rice, skip the olive oil.
