Plain White Rice

How do you like your plain white rice?

If you are like me, definitely not sticky and mushy. I can not stand a sticky rice, and I have grown up cooking rice without a rice cooker or a steamer.

Many African cook their rice without one! I have carried this habit, and till now, I still use my pot to cook my rice.

So, how do you get the perfect plain white rice, those perfect individual grains every time?

Follow these simple steps! You will never regret not having a rice cooker again!
