Rice Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the Rice

   Place the white rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse it under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming sticky.

2. 2

   Combine Ingredients

   In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. If using, add the butter or oil.

3. 3

   Bring to a Boil

   Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

4. 4

   Simmer the Rice

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

5. 5

   Fluff and Serve

   Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork and serve.
