Garlic Rice Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Rice

   Rinse the long-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming sticky.

2. 2

   Sauté the Garlic

   In a medium saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

3. 3

   Cook the Rice

   Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan with the sautéed garlic. Stir for about 1-2 minutes to coat the rice in the oil and garlic. Then, add the water and salt. Bring to a boil.

4. 4

   Simmer

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed all the water and is tender.

5. 5

   Fluff and Serve

   Remove the saucepan from heat. Let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the chopped parsley before serving.
