Arroz Blaco Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the Rice

   Place the white rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water for about 1-2 minutes, or until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch.

2. 2

   Combine Ingredients

   In a medium saucepan, add the rinsed rice, water, salt, and butter or oil. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.

3. 3

   Bring to a Boil

   Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once it reaches a rolling boil, reduce the heat to low.

4. 4

   Simmer

   Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and let it simmer on low heat for about 18-20 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this time, as this can let steam escape.

5. 5

   Fluff the Rice

   After the cooking time is up, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Then, use a fork to fluff the rice gently.

6. 6

   Serve

   Transfer the fluffy white rice to a serving dish and serve warm as a side dish or as a base for your favorite meals.
