Rice Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Rinse the Rice

   Place the long grain white rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from being gummy.

2. 2

   Boil Water

   In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 tsp of salt, and stir to dissolve.

3. 3

   Add Rice

   Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed rice to the pot. Stir briefly to ensure the rice is evenly distributed.

4. 4

   Simmer

   Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let the rice simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

5. 5

   Fluff and Serve

   Remove the pot from heat. Let it sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff the rice with a fork. Add butter or olive oil, stir gently, and serve.
