Cooking Instructions

1

Rinse the Rice

Begin by rinsing the white rice under cold water. This helps to remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming too sticky.

2

Boil Water

In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add 1 tsp of salt to the water.

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

Simmer

Cover the saucepan with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let the rice simmer for about 18-20 minutes. Do not lift the lid while the rice is cooking to ensure even steam distribution.

5

Add Butter

After 18-20 minutes, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. After resting, add 2 tablespoons of butter to the rice and fluff with a fork.

6

Serve

Your white rice is now ready to be served. Enjoy it as a side dish or as a base for your favorite entrees.
