Tips:
- Use the right rice. Different types of rice have different cooking times and textures. For this recipe, use a medium-grain rice like Valencia or Bomba rice.
- Rinse the rice before cooking. This helps to remove the starch from the rice, which prevents it from becoming sticky.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot. This helps to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the rice from burning.
- Bring the water to a boil before adding the rice. This helps to prevent the rice from becoming mushy.
- Cook the rice over low heat. This helps to prevent the rice from burning or sticking to the pot.
- Do not stir the rice while it is cooking. Stirring the rice can break the grains and make the rice mushy.
- Let the rice rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the rice to absorb the remaining moisture and fluff up.
