Instructions

Rinse the rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold water until the water runs mostly clear. Combine the rinsed rice, 2 1/2 cups water, and 1/2 tsp salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover tightly, and cook for 18 minutes, until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
