PERFECT BASMATI RICE IN THE RICE COOKER

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup (185 g) aged, long grain basmati rice, brown or white
• 1 3/4 – 2 cups water
• 1 tbsp oil, any kind
• 3/4-1 tsp kosher salt, or to taste

INSTRUCTIONS 

1. Optional but recommended – Gently wash the rice to remove excess starch until the water runs mostly clear. Use a colander to drain well.
2. Add the rice, water, oil, and salt to the rice cooker and stir to combine.
3. Choose Normal (Regular/Sushi) Rice setting. For Brown rice, select Brown Rice Setting.
4. Once finished cooking, fluff with a rice spatula/paddle and remove promptly to prevent the rice from getting mushy toward the bottom of the cooker. To keep the rice from losing moisture or drying out, keep it covered after cooking.
