Cooking the White Rice

Begin by cooking the white rice according to the package instructions. Usually, this will involve rinsing the rice, adding it to a pot with water (typically a 1:2 ratio of rice to water), bringing it to a boil, then simmering covered until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Preparing the Tomato and Cucumber

While the rice is cooking, wash the tomato and cucumber thoroughly. Slice the tomato and cucumber into thin slices. For a more appealing presentation, you can peel the cucumber before slicing.

Assembling the Dish

Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and allow it to cool slightly. Serve the rice on a plate or bowl and arrange the tomato and cucumber slices around or on top of the rice. Season with salt and pepper to taste if desired.
