1
Prepare the Rice
Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
2
Combine Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, salt, and butter or olive oil.
3
Bring to a Boil
Place the saucepan over high heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
4
Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
5
Fluff and Serve
Remove the saucepan from heat. Let it sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff the rice with a fork and serve.
