To get 1 cup of cooked rice, start with 1/3 cup of uncooked rice. Rinse it under cold water until clear. In a pot, combine the rice with 2/3 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then cover with a lid and reduce heat to low, simmering for about 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it sit, covered, for another 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving. Adjust water and timing for different rice types, if needed.
