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. This helps to remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming too sticky.

2. 2

   Combine Ingredients in Pot

   In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, salt, and olive oil or butter. Stir to mix the ingredients evenly.

3. 3

   Bring to a Boil

   Place the saucepan over high heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Keep an eye on it to prevent it from boiling over.

4. 4

   Simmer the Rice

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Allow the rice to simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed.

5. 5

   Rest the Rice

   After the water is absorbed, remove the saucepan from heat but keep it covered. Let the rice sit for an additional 5 minutes to allow it to steam and become fluffy.

6. 6

   Fluff and Serve

   Remove the lid and use a fork to fluff the rice gently. Serve warm as a side dish or as a base for your favorite main course.
