Preparation

Step 1

First, put on 12 cups of water to boil in a large pot. Then rinse a cup of rice in a fine mesh strainer under cold water until the water runs clear — this should take you about 30 seconds.

Once your water boils, add your rice and 2 teaspoons of salt; stir once, and then let it cook, uncovered, for 30 minutes.

Strain your rice, then add it back to the pot, cover it, and let it steam in its own moisture for 10 more minutes — this lets each grain’s outer bran soften without overcooking the innards.

We end with the timeless rice refrain: Fluff with a fork! And you’re done. Go ahead and serve it immediately, or save it for tomorrow’s lunch or a week of cheap dinners.
