Perfect rice

 

There's nothing worse than soggy rice, but getting it your rice spot on is easier than you might think! All you need is twice the amount of water as you have rice, a saucepan with a lid, and away you go!

Serves 4 (generously)

2 mugs of rice
6 mugs boiling water

Measure the rice into your pan and then wash by filling the pan with water, swooshing it all about and then straining the water out. Add the mugfuls of boiling water and a lid. Put the pan on a high heat, but monitor it - when the water begins bubbling, turn the heat right down to, say, level 2. Leave it cooking for about 12-15 minutes (depending on the type of rice) - you know it's done when all the liquid has been absorbed. See, I told you it was easy!
