Tips:
- Use the right type of rice. Basmati rice is a long-grain rice that is known for its fluffy texture and delicate flavor. It is the best choice for making perfect rice.
- Rinse the rice thoroughly. This will remove the starch from the rice and help it cook evenly.
- Use the correct ratio of water to rice. The general rule is 1 cup of rice to 1 3/4 cups of water. However, you may need to adjust this ratio depending on the type of rice you are using and the desired consistency of the rice.
- Bring the water to a boil before adding the rice. This will help the rice cook evenly.
- Stir the rice once or twice during cooking. This will help prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Let the rice rest for 5 minutes before serving. This will allow the rice to absorb all of the water and become fluffy.
