"Rather than keeping the rice on the stovetop for its entire cook time, she lets it simmer on the heat for exactly 16 minutes, and then turns off the stove burner. She then lets it steam in the pot, lid still on, for 10 minutes off the flame. This results in fluffy white rice with the perfect texture and taste. In this episode, she also offers other great tips for cooking white rice perfectly."
"The first one is a good rinse. In order to get rid of excess starch on your rice so that it is the perfect texture after cooking, rinse it thoroughly before cooking it. This can be done in a sieve, or by pouring water in the pan with the rice and stirring it around to wash off the starch before draining off the water."
Use classic white rice and cook it in a stainless steel pot on the stove instead of a rice cooker. Measure equal volumes of rice and water (1 cup rice to 1 cup water). Bring to a simmer and cook with the lid on for exactly 16 minutes. Turn off the burner and leave the lid on, allowing the rice to steam off the heat for 10 minutes. Rinse rice thoroughly before cooking to remove excess starch. Avoid lifting the lid or stirring during simmering to preserve texture and achieve fluffy, tender rice.
