White Rice Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Rinse the Rice

   In a fine mesh strainer, rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and prevents the rice from being gummy.

2. 2

   Combine Ingredients

   In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, salt, and olive oil.

3. 3

   Bring to a Boil

   Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

4. 4

   Simmer

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and let it simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

5. 5

   Fluff the Rice

   Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for another 5 minutes. Then, remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
