[side] Rice Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the Rice

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

2. 2

   Boil Water

   In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over high heat. Add the salt and stir to dissolve.

3. 3

   Add Rice

   Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed rice to the saucepan. Stir briefly to distribute the rice evenly.

4. 4

   Simmer

   Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let the rice simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed.

5. 5

   Fluff and Serve

   Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork and stir in butter or olive oil before serving.
