Serving a great homemade rice recipe can leave you feeling great. It is quite easy and only requires one to know the basic instructions. Here is a good step by step guide to making a great rice recipe.

Step 1
Wash the rice thoroughly in the cold water, rubbing it between your palms. Rinse several times pouring out the water. Repeat until you notice that the water has changed from white to clear. Thereafter, you can pour it into a drainer. If you do not have one, then you can just drain off the water using your hands. For one cup of rice, add one and a half cups of water to your cooking pot. If you have to use a pan, then a non-sticky one is ideal since you will only have to stir a little to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Meanwhile, add some water to the rice until it covers it fully.

Step 2
After an hour, drain the water from the rice. On your boiling pot, add sufficient water and put it on fire. Wait until it boils. Once it boils, you can add the washed rice. It is advisable that you do not bring the water and the rice to boil at the same time as this could result to uneven boiling of the rice. At this point, lower the heat so as to prevent the water from spilling over.

Step 3
If you like, you can add a little salt to the rice on the boiling pot, and stir. Stirring keeps the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Salt together with a few drops of lemon enhance the rice by making it appear whiter than it is. Cook until you see large bubbles forming on the pot of rice.

Step 4
Once you notice large bubbles forming on your cooking pot, cover the pot with a lid, and allow it to cook for about 12 minutes, and then check if the rice is ready, by smashing a grain of rice on a plate. This will tell you if the rice is ready or if it needs further cooking. If the rice is ready, remove it from the fire and allow it to cool before serving it.
