How to Make the Perfect White Rice
Step #3: Once you’ve finished, draining the rice, return the rice to the pot. Then measure 2 ¼ cups of water and add it to the pot. Stir the rice as you add in the water, but do NOT stir it again once you’ve turned the heat on – ever. Occasionally, I’d find a pool of water at the bottom of the pot, or the bottom half-inch of rice would be a blackened, burnt mess. This method produces tender, fluffy rice like the kind served in Thai restaurants. You know what I’m talking about, right? When you can see each individual grain of rice, rather than just a glob of white mush? Yeah, that’s the good stuff. I had to figure out how to make rice that’s not sticky.

Step #7: Set a timer for 15 minutes and don’t mess with the towel or the lid. Step #8: Once that timer goes off, turn the heat off entirely and let the rice sit for 10 more minutes before taking off the lid and towel.

Storage Info
Store cooked rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it will stay good for up to 5 days. To freeze it, put the leftover rice in your freezer for up to 2 months. Make sure it’s cooled completely before freezing in airtight bags or containers. To reheat, sprinkle some water over the rice to add moisture, then place it in a microwave-safe bowl and cover it. Microwave for 1-2 minutes, or reheat in a saucepan over low heat.
