The Perfect Boiled Rice on a Stove Top

Boiling is maybe the easiest way. Perfectly boiled rice shapes a significant dish itself as well as a great side for other dishes that can be served in any other meal. The water in which rice is boiled should not be discarded, as it has a lot of nutrients. This water can be used to prepare soups or sauces, or it may even be used in the making of yeast bread.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 c Rice
  • 3 tsp Salt
  • 3 qt Boiling water

Instructions
 

  • Wash 1 Cup of rice carefully and add it to 3 quarts of boiling salted water over a stove top.
  • Boil rapidly until the water begins to appear milky because of the starch coming out of the rice into the water or until a grain can be easily crushed between the fingers.
  • Drain the cooked rice through a colander, and then pour cold water over the rice in the colander, so as to wash out the loose starch and leave each grain distinct.
  • Reheat the rice by shaking it over the fire, and serve hot with butter, gravy, or cream or milk and sugar.
