  • Before starting, to a medium pot, add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high. 
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
  • To the boiling water, stir in rice. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 13-15 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed. 
  • Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
