Rice

Method

Rice Preparation

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse 1 cup of long-grain white rice under cold water in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 2 cups of water, and 0.5 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Rice

    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 has been absorbed.

  4. 4

    Fluff the Rice

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

Gravy Preparation

  1. 5

    Melt the Butter

    In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter until bubbly.

  2. 6

    Make the Roux

    Add 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour to the melted butter, whisking constantly for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture is golden brown.

  3. 7

    Add Broth

    Gradually whisk in 2 cups of beef or chicken broth until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.

  4. 8

    Season the Gravy

    Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 0.5 tsp of black pepper, 0.5 tsp of garlic powder, 0.5 tsp of onion powder, and 0.5 tsp of salt to the gravy mixture. Stir well.

  5. 9

    Simmer the Gravy

    Bring the gravy to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  6. 10

    Serve

    Once the gravy has thickened, serve it hot over the prepared rice.
