Instructions: 1. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. 2. In a large pot, add the rinsed rice and cover with water. The general rule of thumb is to use 1 1/2 to 2 cups of water for every cup of rice. 3. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a lid. 4. Let the rice simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. 5. Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes to allow the rice to steam and finish cooking. 6. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.

Ingredients:
- 2 kg (4.4 pounds) medium-grain white rice - 4 liters (1 gallon) water - 1 tablespoon salt (optional)
Equipment:
- Large pot or Dutch oven - Strainer - Measuring cups and spoons - Spoon or spatula
Instructions:
1. Rinse the rice: Place the rice in a large strainer and rinse thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and helps prevent the rice from sticking together. 2. Place rice in pot: Transfer the rinsed rice to a large pot or Dutch oven. 3. Add water and salt (optional): Add 4 liters of water to the pot. If desired, add 1 tablespoon of salt for flavor. 4. Bring to a boil: Heat the rice and water over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Bring to a rolling boil. 5. Reduce heat and simmer: Once the mixture is boiling, reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer gently for 18-20 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed. 6. Fluff the rice: Remove the pot from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes. This allows the steam to distribute evenly throughout the rice. 7. Serve: Fluff the rice with a spoon or spatula and serve warm.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use chicken or vegetable broth instead of water. - To prevent the rice from burning, ensure there is always enough liquid in the pot. If necessary, add more water in small increments. - If you want a softer texture, extend the cooking time by a few minutes. - For a firmer texture, reduce the cooking time by a few minutes. - This recipe yields approximately 10 cups of cooked rice.
