Cooking rice on the stove is a simple but important task that can be mastered with a little practice. The amount of time it takes to cook rice will vary depending on the type of rice you are using, but most types will be cooked through within 15-20 minutes.
There are a few simple steps you can follow to cook rice on the stove. First, rinse the rice in a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear. This will help to remove any excess starch and prevent the rice from sticking together. Next, add the rice to a pot with a lid and add water in a ratio of 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through.
