Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup White rice (long-grain, basmati, or jasmine)
- 2 cups Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Butter or olive oil (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming sticky.
In a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. If desired, add butter or olive oil for extra flavor.
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, stir gently to ensure the rice is evenly distributed.
Reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with the lid. Simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Avoid lifting the lid during this time to maintain consistent steam.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. This allows the steam to finish cooking the rice and makes it fluffy.
Fluff the rice with a fork and serve warm. Enjoy your perfectly cooked Never Fail Rice!
