In a Pot

Not going to lie, prior to writing this book I had never cooked rice in a pot. But I learned for you—and it’s pretty damn easy. Just wash the rice in a pot, cover it with water in that same 1½ to 1 ratio as you would with a rice cooker, and then bring the pot of rice and water to a boil with a lid on. Immediately drop the temperature to a simmer and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is soft.
