Seasoned Rice Recipe

Directions for Preparing Seasoned Rice

1. 1

   Rinse the Rice

   Start by rinsing the long-grain rice under cold water to remove excess starch. This helps to prevent the rice from becoming sticky.

2. 2

   Cook the Rice

   In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water. Add the olive oil, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and dried parsley. Stir to combine.

3. 3

   Bring to a Boil

   Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until all water is absorbed.

4. 4

   Fluff the Rice

   Once the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed, remove the saucepan from heat. Let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. Then, fluff the rice gently with a fork.

5. 5

   Add Lemon Juice

   Finally, drizzle the lemon juice over the fluffy rice and stir gently to combine all the seasonings evenly.
