Rice Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the Rice

   Place the long-grain white rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse it under cold running water. Rinse until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

2. 2

   Combine Ingredients

   In a medium-sized pot, combine the rinsed rice, water, salt, and butter (or oil). Stir gently to combine.

3. 3

   Bring to a Boil

   Place the pot on the stove over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil.

4. 4

   Simmer

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid. Let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes without lifting the lid.

5. 5

   Check for Doneness

   After 18-20 minutes, remove the pot from the heat. Do not lift the lid; let it sit for another 5 minutes to allow the rice to steam.

6. 6

   Fluff and Serve

   After resting, remove the lid, and use a fork to fluff the rice gently. Serve warm.
