THE PERFECT RICE

Equipment:
pot with tight fitting lid (non-aluminum / non-teflon)
colander with fine mesh screen (optional but very helpful) *
Ingredients:
long / medium grain white rice (ex. Jasmine/Basmati)
water **
oil (examples: 1-2 pats of butter or 1-2 tbs. olive oil-sesame oil)
salt (optional)
Procedure:
  • measure desired amount of rice and place in colander
  • rinse rice under running water for full ten seconds
  • set aside and allow to dry for at least 10 minutes
  • add oil to pot and heat over medium heat till melted or close to "hot"
  • add rice to pot and mix over heat till a little "sizzle" is heard. (30 seconds to a minute)
  • add equal volume of water as rice to pot (ie. 1 cup rice, add 1 cup water)
  • put lid on & heat pot until a simmer is achieved about the rim
  • turn heat to low (but not warm) maintaining a gentle simmer
  • simmer on low 13 minutes
  • remove from heat
  • allow to sit at least 10 minutes
  • remove lid and gently separate the rice from the pot edge and fluff 
  • return lid and allow to sit an additional 5-10 minutes
*  If a colander is unavailable, submerge rice, in the pot  TWICE using fresh water each time, rinsing with a final water rinse then orient the pot to enable rice to drain and dry for 10 minutes and proceed as above.
