Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in rice and salt and return to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid, 16 to 18 minutes (check only toward the end of cooking time). The rice should be studded with craters, or steam holes, when it is ready. Remove from heat and let steam, covered, for 10 minutes.
use 2 cups water per 1 cup dry rice. If you want your rice a little firmer, use 1 3/4 c water per. 1 c rice. When water just comes to a boil, put rice in, cover and lower the heat to simmer. White rice usually takes 20 mnts, but I never time it. You know its done when the bottom of your pot is dry and water has evaporated.
