Cooking rice can sometimes be tricky, and it’s easy to end up with a clumpy or undercooked batch. I’ve experimented with various techniques and found a few tips that really help achieve that perfect fluffy texture.
First, rinsing the rice thoroughly under cold water before cooking can remove excess starch. This helps prevent the grains from sticking together. Also, using the right water-to-rice ratio is crucial—generally, a 1:2 ratio works well for most types of white rice. Once it’s boiling, I always reduce the heat to a simmer and cover it, which keeps the steam in and cooks the rice evenly.
