Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Rinse the Rice
Rinsing the rice is crucial to remove excess starch, which can make the rice sticky. Place the rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
2. Measure the Water
For most long-grain rice varieties, the ideal water-to-rice ratio is 1.5 to 2 cups of water for every cup of rice. Check the package instructions for the specific variety you are using.
