Gather all ingredients.

Rinse rice under cold water in a strainer until water runs clear.

Step 4

Combine rice and water in a saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 12 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, until tender, 10 minutes more. The rice will continue to steam. Remove lid and let rice cool.
