1
Rinse the Rice
Place the long-grain rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming sticky.
2
Prepare Optional Ingredients
If using optional flavors, chop the onion and mince the garlic. Measure out the butter, olive oil, and herbs.

3
Boil Water
In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water to a rolling boil. If using olive oil or butter, add it to the water at this stage.
4
Add Rice and Salt
Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed rice and 1 tsp of salt. Stir gently to ensure the rice is evenly distributed.
5
Cook the Rice
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all the water has been absorbed.
6
Add Aromatics
If using, in the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the pot. Stir to combine and cover again.

7
Fluff the Rice
Once the rice is cooked, remove the pot from the heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Then, use a fork to fluff the rice gently.
8
Add Fresh Herbs
If desired, stir in the fresh herbs before serving for added flavor and freshness.
