1

Add the white rice (1 cup) and water (2 cups) to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, lower heat to a simmer and cover. Ensure it's simmering and not boiling or the rice can cook too quickly.
2

Simmer until the [water] is completely absorbed and the [rice] is tender.
3

Turn off the heat, remove the lid, fluff with a fork, put the lid back on, and let rest to allow moisture to redistribute and prevent mushy rice. This rice is delicious in dishes like stir-fries, sushi, and stews!
4

Store cooled leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5-6 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop with a little oil or water until warm.
