How to Make Steamed Rice

There’s something about perfectly steamed rice that just makes everything better. It’s soft, fluffy, and goes with so many of my favorite dishes — from my chicken and bell pepper stir-fry to that chicken and onion stir-fry that’s honestly to die for. And don’t even get me started on how good it tastes next to a fresh salad with steamed eggs on the side. Ohh, my mouth is watering just thinking about it!
