Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

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

  2. 2

    Boil the Water

    In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring it to a boil over high heat.

  3. 3

    Add the Rice

    Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed pint rice to the saucepan. Stir briefly to prevent the rice from clumping.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed all the water.

  5. 5

    Fluff the Rice

    Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes without lifting the lid. After 5 minutes, remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork.

  6. 6

    Add Olive Oil or Butter

    Stir in 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter to the rice for added flavor and richness.

  7. 7

    Season to Taste

    Add pepper and fresh herbs to taste, if desired, and mix gently to combine.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Transfer the pint rice to a serving dish or plate and serve warm as a side dish or base for your favorite proteins and vegetables.
