NEVER FAIL PERFECT COOKED RICE

This is a method that I have used for years and my rice is perfect every time- I will call for Basmati rice (my favorite) in the recipe but any long grain white rice is fine. You can also cook brown rice with this method but it takes a little longer cooking time. I have posted this recipe for 1 person but you may just increase the rice and water for each person. If you use the chicken stock powder don't use a tsp for each person if say you are cooking rice for 6 don't go over 1 tbsp Pre soaking your rice removes some starch and allows it to cook faster. If you wish add some fresh chopped chives

My friend Jolene gave me this fool-proof recipe 25 years ago. It works for Basmati, Jasmine, Long Grain, just about any type of Rice I've tried. Just follow the recipe and it works every time. I much prefer the flavor of Basmati.

Steps:

  • If you're cooking Dessert Rice use Water.
  • If you're cooking Side dish Rice use Chicken Stock.

This is the easiest way to cook rice in a pot on the stove. This technique was shown to me at a sushi making class.

Time 1h15m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 cup rice
1 cup water

Steps:

  • Wash rice thoroughly in cold water. This step is very important. It should not have any of the murky water coming out of it once you are done. This is easiest done in a seive.
  • Leave the washed rice in the seive and put in the pot and cover with cold water for at least one hour.
  • Empty pot of water and shake the rice to get rid of any excess water.
  • Put rice and cooking water in a pot. You can either do rice 1:1 water or you can increase the water by 10%.
  • Bring to the boil over a high heat Then turn the heat down to low. *DO NOT OPEN THE LID AT ALL*.
  • Cook for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and leave for 5 minutes with the lid on.
