Buttered White Rice Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the Rice

   Place the white rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear. This step helps to remove excess starch.

2. 2

   Boil Water

   In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over high heat. Add 0.5 tsp of salt to the boiling water.

3. 3

   Add Rice

   Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed white rice to the saucepan. Stir briefly to ensure the rice is evenly distributed.

4. 4

   Simmer

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

5. 5

   Fluff and Add Butter

   Once the rice is cooked, remove it from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Then, fluff the rice gently with a fork and stir in 2 tbsp of butter until melted and well incorporated.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the buttered white rice warm as a side dish or as part of your favorite meal.
