Instructions

Combine the rice, 1 3/4 cups water, and 1/2 tsp salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover tightly, and cook until the water is fully absorbed and the rice is tender, about 18 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
