Rice

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of white rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make the Gravy

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Once melted, whisk in 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until it forms a roux and is lightly golden.

  3. 3

    Add Broth and Seasonings

    Gradually add 2 cups of beef or vegetable broth to the roux, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Stir in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon of dried thyme. Continue to cook for 5-7 minutes, until the gravy thickens.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and serve it on a plate. Pour the savory brown gravy over the rice and enjoy!
