Steaming rice is a healthy way of cooking it as it preserves its nutrients and does not require any oil or butter. In this recipe, we will show you how to cook perfect steamed rice every time.

Prep Time and Cook Time

Preparation time for this recipe is about 5 minutes, and cooking time is about 20 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of long-grain rice
  • 2 cups of water

Equipment

  • A rice cooker or a pot with a lid

Method

  1. Rinse the rice in a fine-mesh strainer and drain well.
  2. Add the rice and water to the rice cooker or pot.
  3. If using a rice cooker, turn it on and let it cook until it switches off automatically.
