Side White Rice Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the Rice

   Place the white rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse it under cold running water for about 1-2 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and prevent the rice from becoming sticky.

2. 2

   Combine Ingredients

   In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed white rice, 2 cups of water, 1 tsp of salt, and 1 tablespoon of butter or oil. Stir gently to combine.

3. 3

   Bring to a Boil

   Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Keep an eye on it to prevent it from boiling over.

4. 4

   Simmer the Rice

   Once the water reaches a rolling boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let the rice simmer for about 18-20 minutes. Avoid lifting the lid during this time.

5. 5

   Fluff and Serve

   After the cooking time is complete, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Then, uncover and use a fork to fluff the rice. Serve as a side dish with your favorite meal.
