How to Cook Rice Like Pasta (Pasta Method)

Cooking rice using the pasta method is a great way to ensure the grains are separate, fluffy, and perfectly cooked without any sticky or clumpy texture. This method uses a large amount of water (just like cooking pasta), and it helps the rice cook evenly.


Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of rice (white, brown, or any variety)
  • 4-6 cups of water (depending on the type of rice)
  • 1 tsp salt (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Boil Water:

    • Bring a large pot of water (about 4-6 cups per cup of rice) to a boil. Add a pinch of salt to the water if desired. You want enough water for the rice to move freely, similar to cooking pasta.
  2. Add the Rice:

    • Once the water is boiling, add the rice to the pot. Stir the rice a little to ensure it doesn't stick together.
  3. Cook the Rice:

    • Let the rice cook in the boiling water for 10-15 minutes for white rice or 25-30 minutes for brown rice, depending on the type and texture you prefer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Check the Rice:

    • After the suggested time, taste a grain of rice to check for doneness. If it’s cooked to your liking, you’re ready for the next step.
  5. Drain the Rice:

    • Once the rice is cooked, carefully drain it in a fine mesh sieve or colander. Let the rice sit for a minute or two to allow any excess water to drain.
  6. Fluff the Rice:

    • Use a fork to fluff the rice gently, separating the grains for a light and fluffy texture.
  7. Serve:

    • Serve the rice as you would normally, with your favorite dishes or toppings.

Tips:

  • Rice Variety: The cooking time can vary based on the type of rice you're using. White rice usually cooks faster than brown rice.
  • Add-Ins: You can add a splash of oil or a knob of butter to the rice once drained for extra flavor.
  • Rice to Water Ratio: Since you are using a lot of water, you don't need to worry about precise water-to-rice ratios. Just ensure the rice is fully submerged during cooking.

Using the pasta method for cooking rice is a foolproof way to achieve perfectly cooked rice every time—light, fluffy, and non-sticky! 🍚
