Cooking Rice
Rice forms the base for a lot of the bowls I make, so a pageabout cooking rice seems in order.
Yield: 4 servings
Cost: $1
Equipment
- 1 saucepan with a tight-fitting lid
Materials
- 1 c rice
- 1 3/4 c water
Instructions
- Measure and rinse the rice. I put it in the pot and fill it with water a few times and swish and drain. You can also use a sieve and run water over it.
- Season it if you like. (I almost never season my rice.)
- Bring it to a boil.
- Turn down the heat, cover it and simmer it without lifting the lid for 20 minutes.
- Let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Fluff before using or serving.
