Combine the rice, salt and 1 1/2 cups water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until all liquid is absorbed, about 18 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.

My rice always sticks to the bottom. Any solutions ?

I sauteed my rice in butter and garlic before adding the water. I also doubled the recipe for my family. I did need to add about 3/4 cup more water in the last 7 minutes because it had absorbed it too soon and I didn't want it crunchy. I paired it with sauteed shrimp scampi and it turned out perfect!
