Perfect Steamed Rice
Author: Danielle Chang - Lucky Rice Cookbook
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 4 ounces (1¾ cups) uncooked
- short-grain rice
- water
Instructions
- Place the rice in a heavy pot and add water to cover by about an inch.
- Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and steam the rice, without stirring, at a steady boil, until most of the water has been absorbed, about 25 minutes.
- Keeping the cover on, reduce the heat to low and let the rice sit undisturbed for another 5 minutes. Serve hot.
- NOTES: Rinsing rice before cooking removes surface starch, which prevents stickiness, but doing so will wash away vitamins and nutrients. With short-grain rice, where a bit of toothy starchiness is a good thing, there is no need to pre-rinse.
