Step 1
Rinse the 1 cup rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold water until the water runs clear, about 1 minute.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 2 cups water, and 0.5 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Step 3
Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15-18 minutes.
Step 4
Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
