My way/Jamaican way: 2 cups water 1 1/2 cup rice (any cup, not a literal measured cup). Put the water to boil. Mix in salt and oil. Stir. Put in rice. Turn the heat down from high to low in 5-6 minute intervals. Don't stir, just let it do it's thing. Boom. You have regular white rice lol. Sounds tedious but is actually very, very easy.
