Postup
Krok za krokem

Rinse the long-grain white rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch for fluffier rice.
Přibližně 1 min

Combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt in a medium saucepan.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan tightly with a lid, and simmer.
Přibližně 2 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Ensure the lid is tight to trap steam, which is crucial for cooking the rice evenly.

Cook for 15 minutes without lifting the lid. Do not stir the rice during this time.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it rest, still covered, for 10 minutes. This allows the rice to finish cooking with residual steam and become fluffy.
