Let’s get started!
– 2 cups water – 1/2 teaspoon salt – 1 tablespoon butter or oil optional – 1 cup long grain white rice
1. Fill a medium pot with water and bring to a boil. After adding the butter and salt, let it melt. 2. Stir in the rice after the water has come back to a boil. Let the water come back up to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and stir once more.
3. Continue to cook the rice with a lid on, simmering it gently (you may need to check the heat after a few minutes to make sure it’s at the right temperature). 4. Around 17 Minutes, start to check if the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. If you are preparing a greater amount of rice, it could take up to 25.
5. After cooking, remove from the heat and leave the rice alone for a few more minutes so that any liquid can fully soak. 6. Remove the cover, mix the rice with a fork, and let it for about two more minutes to allow some of the surplus moisture to evaporate.
