…….assuming of course you don’t use a rice cooker.

We rinse the rice and drain it and then add water, the boil it.

 

[Aunt Bea]

I cup of rice, two cups of water, salt.

Cover and bring to a boil, reduce heat to lowest setting and cook for 13 minutes, let sit for a few minutes, remove cover, fluff and serve.

Cook brown rice only. Longer cook time than white. Like the taste & look better.

Usually I use a Basmati. Wash the rice three times and drain. After taking a cooking class, the washing was stressed as imperative because of the coating used to make it appear more white. Such searched, the coating is likely magnesium silicate.

1 C rice, 2 C water. Bring to a boil, reduce, cover and simmer for 12-15, let it rest and fluff it.

Sometimes the water is cold, sometimes it is hot. Doesn’t seem to make any difference.

Sometimes I use a brown Basmati or regular brown. I know it should be the brown, some foods just seem to go better with the white rice.

Uncle Ben's white rice-
Four servings: 1 cup rice + 2 1/4 cups water, 1/2 tsp salt.

Bring the water and rice to a boil. Then, reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the pan from the burner and allow it to stand for 5 minutes or until all the water absorbed by the rice.
