How To Make Rice
In a pot, add 1 cup of long grain white rice and 2 cups of water then bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and cover the pot with a lid. Simmer for 10-12 minutes then remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork. It is best to let the rice cool before adding to the wok to prevent it from sticking together.CCK Features both Gluten-Free Guidance and Kids Cooking Instructions: If you're new to eating gluten-free we understand it's overwhelming trying to figure out which foods may contain gluten and which ones don't.
