Notes
- Use plenty of water: rice, as you would when cooking pasta.
- HOW MUCH SALT - add 2 tsp kosher salt per litre/quart of water for perfectly-seasoned rice (or pasta, potatoes, etc.), or use half that amount if you prefer barely-seasoned grains as a blank canvas.
- Rinse the rice before cooking it.
- Cook the rice in a pot with its lid on.
- Cool leftover cooked rice completely before packing and storing it.
