Part 5/6:
Once the timer goes off, remove the skillet from the heat but leave the lid on to let the rice sit for an additional 15 minutes. This resting period is crucial for achieving that fluffy texture you're aiming for.
After 15 minutes, it’s finally time to remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork. This technique helps separate the grains, providing a light and airy finish.
Taste Test
Now for the best part—tasting your creation! The rice should be perfectly fluffy, vibrant, and bursting with flavor.
