Stovetop rice, from https://www.recipetineats.com/how-to-cook-rice/

Ingredients:
- 1 cup rice
- 1.5 cups water


Preparation:
1) Place 1 cup of rice (no rinsing!) and 1.5 cups water in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium high – no lid;

2) Turn heat down to low, cover with lid, and leave for 13 minutes;

3) With lid still on, remove saucepan from stove and stand for 10 minutes. Stir regularly. 

1 cup uncooked rice = 3 cups (packed) cooked rice. 


Notes:
The biggest mistake people make when cooking rice is using too much water with most recipes calling for 2 cups of water to 1 cup of rice for stovetop cooking. This virtually guarantees overly soft rice with gummy surfaces.

The problem of too much water is then exacerbated by rinsing the rice, with promises that removing the excess starch will make your rice fluffy. Ever weighed your rice before and after rinsing? All that extra weight = water.

So actually, recipes that call for 2 cups of water AND rinsing rice end up using almost 2 1/4 cups of water for 1 cup of rice = overly soft rice with gummy surfaces.
