How do I make white rice?

Question

I have never made white rice, does anyone know a simple way to just cook it?

Answer 1

Hot water and rice.

Answer 2

Bring 1 cup water to a boil, then add 1/2 cup rice. Stir, then bring heat down to a low simmer and cover the pan with a lid. Cook for 20 minutes and now you have rice. A rule of thumb is use twice as much water as rice.

Answer 3

Electric rice cooker...never fails for me. And I only buy good rice, never anything cheap

Answer 4

steam cook it. when i boil it, it goes soggy

Answer 5

Boil the rice in hot water for a few minutes and they go...

Answer 6

rinse the rice about three times to get some of the starch out of it.  Then put water in the pan slowly till it is about a half inch to an inch above the level of the rice. cover and cook on low to medium heat for about 20 minutes or until the water evaporates, be careful not to burn the rice. after it is cooked fluff the rice with a fork.

Answer 7

To make white rice is simple and easy.  

Just put water in a pot and pour some rice in it.  

Let it boil for about 15 minutes and then let it cool off.  

If you want to add some butter, you can.

I make my own white rice and then I add some corn for a better flavor.

Answer 8

Rice and water is all you need to cook in pot.   Let it boil for a few minutes and it will be done.

Answer 9

read the back of the box.

Answer 10

It's really pretty simple...the previous answerers have it down, with a couple of problems.  If you rinse the rice, you take out all the nutrients as well as the starch.  And Minute RICE, not minute maid (orange juice), has no nutrients in it to begin with.

Now, what you really want to do, is get a whole bunch of other stuff, like seafood, sausage, onions, tomatoes, garlic, and a little saffron and turn that boring white rice into a Paella.

Answer 11

use minute maid 5 minute rice...it is super easy. just boil the water one it is boiled add the rice turn off the stove cover the lid and let it sit for about 5 minutes...the best part is you can add what ever you want butter, garlic salt, mushrooms, peas, salsa...it's the best rice....just remember equal parts water to rice. hope this helps.

Answer 15

Bring a cup of water to boiling then stick a cup of rice in it.  Let it cook for a minute or two then turn the heat off(or on very low).  Check it every few minutes and its done when the water is gone.

I usually put chicken or beef with onions and bell peppers in it.  Paella sounds good, I've seen it on a cooking show but I've never been able to try it.  If i ever go to spain that will be a must have for me.

Answer 16

watch survivor, I think they boil it every nite 4 dinner.

Answer 17

The proportions are generally two to one: two cups of water to one cup of rice.

The basic steps to cooking rice are:

1. Bring the water to a boil

2. Add the rice, ½ teaspoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of butter, stir once.

3. Cover the pot and return the water to a boil

4. Immediately turn the stove down to simmer and turn the timer on.

The rule is simple: you can tell its done cooking if all the water is absorbed (assuming you have put in the correct proportions of rice and water.)

White rice usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes to cook. Check the rice about 4 minutes before the timer is due to go off. When you take the cover off, the top of the rice may look like it is totally cooked. However, with a spoon, you need to gently move the rice to see if there is still water to be absorbed at the bottom.

Cooking times can differ just because simmer on one stove may not be the same on all stoves.
