Description

Korean white rice is a staple food in Korean cuisine. It is a simple yet flavorful dish that goes well with almost any Korean dish. This recipe is easy to follow and produces fluffy, perfectly cooked white rice every time.

Prep Time

5 minutes

Cook Time

20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of short-grain white rice
  • 2 1/2 cups of water
  • 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon of salt (optional)

Equipment

  • Rice cooker
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Rice paddle or wooden spoon

Method

  1. Rinse the rice in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear. This will remove excess starch and prevent the rice from becoming too sticky.
  2. Transfer the rice to the rice cooker.
  3. Add the water to the rice cooker. If desired, add the rice vinegar and salt.
  4. Tightly close the lid of the rice cooker and turn it on.
  5. Allow the rice to cook for about 20 minutes or until the rice cooker switches to "warm."
  6. Let the rice sit for 10 minutes to allow it to steam and absorb any remaining moisture.
  7. Fluff the rice with a rice paddle or wooden spoon and serve.

Notes

  • It is crucial to rinse the rice before cooking to remove any excess starch.
  • If you do not have a rice cooker, follow the same steps but cook the rice on the stovetop in a pot with a tight-fitting lid.
  • If you are using a rice cooker, do not open the lid during cooking as it will release steam and disrupt the cooking process.
