How to Cook Rice
Ingredients
Directions
Pour just enough water into a pot to prevent the rice from burning.
Cover the pot with a close-fitting lid.
Cook over moderate heat, steaming the rice until nearly done.
Remove the lid to let excess steam escape.
Fluff the rice to ensure each kernel is separate.
