How to Boil Rice - Basic Recipes - The Green Chronicle

How to boil rice (for 2-3 people):

When cooked correctly, long grain rice should be dry and fluffy white separate grains. It is the ideal accompaniment for curries and chillies.

Ingredients

1 cup long grain rice
2 cups of cold water
pinch of salt
saucepan with tight fitting lid
(see measure conversions for more information)

Method

- Put the rice and water into the saucepan and bring to the boil.
- Simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Remove from the heat.
- Put the lid onto the saucepan (if it does not fit tightly, place a clean tea cloth over the pan and push the lid down over it).
- Leave to stand with no heat at all for about 15 minutes or until all the water has been absorbed and the rice is separate and fluffy.

Always use twice as much cold water as rice.For example 1 cup of long grain rice should be cooked in two cups of cold water.
