Perfect Quick Rice

I love the steamed rice I get from my favorite Chinese restaurant and this is how you make it.  It is very simple and takes about 5-10 minutes depending on the amount you want to make.

Perfect Quick Rice

Yields: 4 cups

Ingredients:

2 cups Jasmine Rice

4 cups Water

* When cooking rice, you will always have a ration of 1:2, so for 2 cups of rice you will need 4 cups of water, for 1 cup of rice you will need 2 cups of water etc.

Directions:

1. Combine rice and water into a small/medium size pot.  Stir the rice around a couple of times.

2. Turn the heat onto high and wait for your rice to start to boil.  Once the rice starts to boil give it one last quick stir, place a lid on the top of the pot, turn the heat off and remove the rice from the burner.

3. Your rice will now steam and all of the water will be absorbed.  This takes about 5-10 minutes.  Do not remove the lid until your rice looks like it is nice and plump (doubled in size) and all of the water is absorbed.  After your rice is done fluff it with a fork.  You can add some salt to it if you like or just use soy sauce.
