Stovetop White Rice image

When it's cooked properly, there's nothing more beautiful and essential than rice. You won't even need an electric rice cooker for chef Edward Lee's foolproof method, just a pot on your stove. Each grain remains intact, to give you a perfectly sticky yet fluffy bowl of rice.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup medium-grain sushi rice
1 1/3 cups water, plus additional for rinsing
1 pinch kosher salt
1 pinch sugar

Steps:

  • Rinse rice: Pour rice into a medium mixing bowl and cover with 3 inches of lukewarm water. Swirl water and rice with your hands to release starch, about 30 seconds; water will appear cloudy. Use a fine-mesh strainer to drain the rice; shake strainer to remove extra liquid. Transfer rinsed rice into a pot and add 1⅓ C of lukewarm water, along with a small pinch of salt and sugar.
  • Cook rice: Over medium-high heat, bring rice to a low simmer, about 3 minutes. When bubbles appear around the edges of the pot, reduce heat to lowest setting on your burner. Cover the pot and simmer, 20-25 minutes. Remove from heat and let the covered pot rest for 2 minutes; then gently fluff with a wooden spoon before serving. (Note: You can double this recipe, but make sure to use a bigger pot.)
