Plain Rice

Plain rice, a staple in many cuisines, is a versatile and simple dish that can accompany a wide range of meals or stand alone as a comforting meal on its own. To prepare it, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch, then cook it in a pot with the appropriate amount of water (usually a 1:2 ratio of rice to water for white rice) until the grains are tender and fluffy. You can add a pinch of salt or a teaspoon of oil to enhance the flavor, but it’s delicious in its pure simplicity.
