Steamed White Rice

Ted and Sarah's Note:

I'm always amazed at how many people ask me "How do you get your rice so perfect?" Martin Yan told me! Not personally, of course. That would've been much cooler, though. Anyways, no one can ever remember what I told them, so I'm posting it here.

• Total Time: 17 mins
• Prep Time: 2 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 2 cups long-grain rice
• 3 cups water

Directions:

1. Put the rice in a 3 quart pot or saucepan with a tight fitting lid (don't put the lid on yet!) and pour in the water.
2. Bring to a boil, and cook until the surface looks "cratery" (like the surface of hot lava or something).
3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for about ten minutes, till the water is gone.
4. Let rice stand for a minute or two, then remove the lid, fluff the rice, and serve!

Who can argue with Martin Yan? This is the way I have been making rice for years and it is nice to it post. I made as written, thanks for the post.

I've made my rice this way for the past few months and it always turns out PERFECT! Thanks you so much!!! Now, I finally can make white rice that is edible.
