Rice
Ingredients
| 1 cup (~200g) | white rice |
| 1.75 cup | water |
| 0.5 tsp | salt |
Steps
- Bring all to a boil over high heat. Let boil with lid off until water cooks off until the level of the rice and water are equal.
- Put on the lid, drop heat to low, and let simmer for 20 minutes (level 2 on our back right burner).
- Turn off heat, keep lid on, and let sit another 5 minutes undisturbed.
- Take off lid, fluff, and serve or replace lid.
- Note: 1 cup of white rice is approximately 200 grams. Rinsing and draining adds about 20g of water.
Brown Rice
For brown rice, increase water from 1.75 to 2 cups. put all in a saucepan, heat to a boil with lid off. Once it comes to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low. after 40 minutes, turn off burner and leave covered for at least five minutes. Uncover and fluff with a fork. Basically like white rice except (1) a little more water, (2) don’t let the water boil down before covering, and (3) longer cook time.

Instant Pot
- 1 cup rice
- 1 cup water

- Vent pot, then open and fluff.
Instant Pot Brown rice: Same 1:1 ratio of rice to water, but pressure cook for 15 min with a 5 min natural release. (Totally fine to go longer on the pressure release)
