COMBINE: In a medium-sized saucepan, add all the ingredients. Place over medium-high heat without a lid.
SIMMER: Wait until the mixture starts bubbling at the edges with movement in the center and the surface turns frothy. Once this happens, cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 13-15 minutes without taking off the lid, touching, or stirring.
CHECK: After cooking, tilt the saucepan slightly to ensure all the water has been absorbed. Replace lid immediately.
REST: Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit with the lid on for 10 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork and enjoy.
Notes
Larger Batches: For larger quantities use a bigger pot. Cooking time will be a bit longer.Problems?
Overflow: Use a snug, heavy lid; lower heat or use a larger pot.
Burnt rice: Decrease heat adjusting for stove strength. Use a heavier pan if possible for better heat distribution.
Gummy rice: Check to ensure measurements are correct and avoid very small pots.
