Easy Steamed Rice Sallye Recipes

PERFECT STEAMED RICE

Steps:

• Place rice, water and salt in a saucepan. Bring liquid to a boil over medium heat. Cover and simmer over low heat until the rice is as tender as you like it, about 18 minutes. If there is any leftover liquid in the pot, drain the rice in a strainer. Remove half of the rice for another day. To remaining rice, stir in butter and cheese and/or ham; adjust seasoning.

Steps:

• 1. Place all ingredients in heavy saucepan and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Once boiling, cover pan and turn heat to low; simmer for 30-40 minutes until rice is tender. Remove from heat and let "rest" for 5-10 minutes. When ready to serve, fluff up lightly with fork.

PERFECT STEAMED RICE EVERY TIME

Steps:

• WASH THE RICE: Rinse under running water, rubbing the grains together between the palms of your hands; continue this rinsing until the water runs fairly clear. THIS WILL TAKE A COUPLE MINUTES; DON'T RUSH THIS MOST IMPORTANT STEP!
• Place rice in a covered sauce pan; add water to 1/2-inch above the rice; put on high heat. Stay in the area -- don't fall asleep -- PAY ATTENTION!
• As soon as it boils rapidly, reduce heat to medium/low and keep simmering for 10 minutes. DO NOT PEEK. DO NOT OPEN THE LID.
• Remove pot from burner but STILL DO NOT OPEN THE LID; let the rice rest undisturbed for five minutes.
• Fluff the rice with a pair of chopsticks before serving.
