A good, basic recipe for
cooking long grain rice.
Basic
Long Grain Rice
- 2 cups water

the water to boil. Add salt and rice; cover and reduce
heat. Simmer for 20 minutes,
without lifting cover.

fluff rice with fork and let sit for a few minutes with the cover

grain rice is normally 2 parts water, 1 part rice. However, when
using Jasmine rice, it is best to use less water, about 2 tablespoons
less water per cup used.
