How to Boil Rice

How to Boil Rice image

Pick your rice clean and wash in 2 cold waters, not draining off the last water until you are ready to put the rice on the fire. Prepare a saucepan with cold water and a little salt. When it boils sprinkle in the rice gradually so as not to stop the boiling. Boil hard for 20 minutes keeping the pot covered; then take it from the fire, pour off the water, after which set the pot on the back of the stove with the lid off, to allow the rice to dry and the grains to separate. Remember to boil rapidly from the time you cover the pot until you take it off; this allows each grain to swell to 3 times its normal size and the motion prevents the grains from sticking together. Do not stir it as this will cause it to fall to the bottom of the pot and burn. When properly boiled rice should be snowy white, perfectly dry and soft and every grain separate and alone. Do not add any water after the rice begins to boil. Put a large quantity of water on to boil at first.
