Method
Cooking the Rice
Rinse the Rice
In a fine mesh strainer, rinse the long-grain rice under cold running water for about 2-3 minutes until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch.
Boil Water
In a medium-sized pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add 1 tsp of salt to the boiling water.
Cook the Rice
Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed rice to the pot. Stir briefly to prevent sticking, then cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
Preparing the Garlic
Mince the Garlic
While the rice is cooking, peel and finely mince the 4 garlic cloves.
Sauté the Garlic
In a small pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden, being careful not to burn it.
