No Fail White Rice, Brown Rice, And Mexican Rice

1. 1

   Put the water into a pot with a tight fitting lid and bring to a boil over high heat. Add salt.

2. 2

   When the water is at a full roiling boil, add the rice. Stir and return to a boil.

3. 3

   When boiling again, reduce heat to lowest possible.

4. 4

   Put the lid on and let sit for 15 to 20 minutes. Do not look!

5. 5

   After 15 to 20 minutes, remove the lid, fluff and serve. It's that easy!

6. 6

   Note: You can also use stock for your liquid instead of water. Try replacing all or even just half for a flavor boost.

7. 7

   BROWN RICE: Same measurements, obviously substituting the white rice for brown rice. Let sit for 45 minutes though.

8. 8

   MEXICAN RICE: Substitute 1 cup tomato sauce for 1 cup of water. While rice is cooking, saute 1/4 cup finely chopped onion in some butter. Add to rice when fluffing. You can also add a bit of cumin. Be creative; if you like green chilies, add those in, too. Or peppers. Or chopped tomatoes.
