Ingredients:

Tools:

Directions:

1. Rinse:

Let’s start preparation of the Simple Boiled Rice Recipe by rinsing the rice.

1.1.

Place 2 cups of rice to the strainer and thoroughly rinse under cold water.

1.2.

Then add to the rice cooker or pot.

2. Cook:

2.1. Add:

4 cups of water

Briefly stir, cover with a lid, and cook until done:

A. Cooking in rice cooker:

  • Do not stir rice during cooking.
  • Do not open the rice cooker during cooking — or at least try to eliminate it.
  • Most rice cookers will turn off automatically after you are done (follow the manual).

B. Cooking in a pot (on the stove):

  • Cook covered with a lid on medium head with occasional stirring until all liquid is absorbed. Water should not boil but only simmer during cooking (temperature about 195°)
  • When all liquid is absorbed, make sure that the rice is cooked by tasting it. If the rice needs more time, add a little more water, and keep cooking for a little longer.

Note:
Brown rice will be more nutritious but will require a longer cooking time. Most rice cookers will automatically preset the necessary cooking time.

3. Final Phase of Simple Boiled Rice Recipe:

3.1. Remove pot from the stove or disconnect rice cooked and add:

Drizzle of olive oil
½ TSP of salt
Pinch of ground pepper

Thoroughly mix together with a silicone spatula.

3.2.

Taste and add salt and pepper if needed.
