To cook basic white rice you must first rinse the rice thoroughly, until the water runs clear. This removes the excess starch and helps keep the grains separate, light and fluffy. When steaming rice, a general ratio of rice to water is about 1-part-rice to just under 2-parts-water. Add rice to boiling water, lower the heat and simmer for 17 to 20 minutes and do not open the lid. Fluff up the cooked rice and serve.
