Rice & Gravy Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the Rice

   In a medium saucepan, combine the long-grain rice and water.

2. 2

   Boil and Simmer

   Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

3. 3

   Prepare the Gravy

   In a separate skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.

4. 4

   Sauté Onion and Garlic

   Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

5. 5

   Make the Roux

   Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the onion and garlic mixture. Stir continuously for about 2 minutes to cook the flour slightly.

6. 6

   Add Chicken Broth

   Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps from the flour.

7. 7

   Season the Gravy

   Add the soy sauce, salt, and black pepper to taste. Bring the gravy to a simmer and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until it thickens.

8. 8

   Serve

   Once the rice is cooked and the gravy has thickened, serve the rice on a plate and generously ladle the gravy over the top.
