How to Cook White Rice

Let me be the first to say that making rice can be STRESSFUL!! I’ve burnt rice, made mushy rice, undercooked, overcooked… I have had my fair share of ups and downs with this grain for sure. You’d think that this staple side dish would be the easiest thing ever, but everyone I know has had their battle with rice. However, I have found a way that works perfectly for me, and maybe, just maybe, it works perfectly for you too!

You will need:
  • 1 cup rice (185g)
  • 2 cups water (475ml)
  • 1-2 cubes bullion (Bullion makes rice so tasty, you could eat it on its own. Seriously, you might not go back to plain rice after this, haha.)
First step, rinse rice in a strainer until the water runs through clearly.
Add the rice to a pot and 2 cups of water.
Next crush in the bouillon with your hand and give it a little stir. This helps the seasoning to be evenly distributed in the rice since you won’t be stirring it like a soup during the cooking process.
Bring to a boil. Then cover the pot with a lid, change the heat to medium-low, then let sit for 20 minutes (do not uncover during this time). Then, leaving the lid on, remove from heat and let sit for another 5 minutes so it can steam.
Last step! Fluff with a fork.
Ta-da!
