Perfect boiled rice

Step 1

Pour enough oil in saucepan (a couple of shakes) to coat all your rice.

Step 2

Heat the oil.

Step 3

Add the rice. I use rice filled up to litre mark in measuring jug for 6 people, but you can do a cup or two if you don't want so much. Stir to cover all the rice with the oil.

Step 4

Boil your water in a kettle then pour into jugs or cups (twice as much as the rice you have used, ie. if you used 1 jug of rice, use 2 jugs of water).

Step 5

Add salt. As a general rule a teaspoon of salt to one litre of water. Add water to rice. You need double the amount of water to rice, ie. one cup of rice, two cups of water.

Step 6

When the water starts bubbling. Give one big stir, then cover and turn heat to lowest setting. Put timer on for 25 minutes.

Step 7

When timer goes off, tilt pan to side to make sure all water has been absorbed. If it has, rice should be done. If not, try again in 5 minutes.
