Plain Rice Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Rice

   Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Vermicelli

   In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the vermicelli and sauté until golden brown, stirring frequently.

3. 3

   Combine Ingredients

   Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan with the browned vermicelli. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

4. 4

   Cook the Rice

   Pour in the water and add the salt. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

5. 5

   Fluff and Serve

   Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
