How to Cook Perfectly Fluffy Rice Every Time

Say goodbye to sticky rice, under cooked rice, or dry, overcooked rice: Here we will tell you how to cook rice perfectly every time.



What You Need

• Measuring cup

• Water

• Saucepan with lid

• Salt

• Rice

• Wooden spoon

• Fork

Follow These Steps

• Boil water and add salt - Pour water (for every cup of rice, use 1¾ cups of water) into a  saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Bring to a boil. Mix 1 teaspoon of salt into the water.

• Pour in rice - Add the rice to the boiling water.

• Stir once, or just enough to separate the rice - Use a wooden spoon to isolate any clumps. Don’t over-stir: That can make the rice to become sticky.

• Cover the pot and simmer - Be certain that the lid fits tightly on the pot. Slow down the heat to its lowest setting. Let rice simmer for around 18 minutes, then remove from heat and enable  the rice to steam in the pot for another 5 minutes.

• Fluff rice with a fork - Just before serving, gently fluff the rice with a fork to isolate the grains. Furthermore, after you've cooked up your perfect rice, might we suggest some chili to go with it.

Tips: Don’t uncover the saucepan or mix the rice during cooking. If it’s done before you’re prepared  to serve it, place a folded towel over the saucepan, replace the lid, and put aside. The towel will absorb excess moisture and condensation, helping prevent overcooked and soft rice.
