Rice Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Rinse the Rice

   In a fine mesh strainer, rinse the long-grain white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This step removes excess starch and helps to make the rice fluffy.

2. 2

   Cook the Rice

   In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the rinsed rice and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.

3. 3

   Add Liquid and Seasoning

   Pour in the water, and add salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir to combine.

4. 4

   Bring to a Boil

   Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil.

5. 5

   Simmer

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

6. 6

   Fluff and Serve

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