It’s not that I don’t make plain basic white rice all the time. I grew up on rice, and so did my kids. It’s just that making this simple plain basic white rice is not as simple as people think. Over the hundreds of cooking classes I’ve taught, I always notice how people don’t really know how to make plain basic white rice. Until one day, a lady said to me: “You know, I make some incredible recipes, some incredible meals, and yet I don’t know how to make plain basic white rice”. If she has some issues with Plain Basic White Rice, chances are, other people do as well.

You want to wash the rice several times in running water until the water clears and you remove all the excess starch from the rice. Wash it well; shaking the rice and water as you go takes only a few seconds. How many times? Anything between three and five times.

Once the rice is washed, let it dry completely in a colander. This process works well for long white grains such as Jasmine and Basmati. Other types of white rice, such as Arborio, doesn’t need washing. You want the starch in the Arborio grain to make risotto. In the case of brown rice, the bran and the germ have not been removed, so the starch is contained by the outside layer.

You want to add onion to flavor, but not too much. Cook the onions in a little bit of canola or vegetable oil. Olive oil may be too strong for the delicate taste of rice. Toast the rice with the onions, developing that nutty flavor of rice, and then add water. Be sure to follow the 2 cups rice, 3 cups water ratio.

Once the rice is cooked, you want to avoid mixing it or folding it. Simply fluffy it up with a fork. This treatment is valid for almost every type of rice, except for risotto and rice pudding or any recipe that requires folding the rice. When this process is nailed, you’ll make rice repeatedly. It’s really a bunch of easy steps, and if you follow all of them, it’s hard to get it wrong.

The world of rice is getting more and more attractive every year, with more choices in the supermarket. But making plain basic white rice will always be a classic. No matter how technologically evolved we get, some things never change. Plain Basic White Rice is one of them.
