In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt, then bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and let the rice simmer until all liquid is absorbed.
18 minutes

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the rice steam, still covered, to finish cooking and become fluffy.
