Calories: 428kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups of long grain white rice
- 2 ⅛ cups of water
- 3 tablespoon of vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon of salt
Instructions
- Begin by rinsing your rice. Using a fine mesh strainer, rinse your rice in room temperature water until the water comes out clear.
- To a medium sized sauce pan, add your oil, salt, water and rice. Set your heat to high.
- Stir your rice so the salt becomes well incorporated through out the rice.
- The minute your rice begins to boil, quickly drop the heat to low and cover. Allow to cook for fifteen minutes without removing the lid.
- Once the fifteen minutes have passed, open the lid and stir your rice. Turn off the heat and cover the rice again. Keep the rice covered for another 5-10 minutes until rice if fully cooked
Notes
Garlicky white rice - I like to add a little bit of garlic powder to my rice sometimes, when I do I add ½ teaspoon.
Vegetable white rice / Arroz con Vegetales - Make this by simply adding 1 chicken bouillon cube, ¼ cup of frozen peas, one minced carrot and ½ a minced onion to the saucepan. Adjust rice as needed. The vegetables will cook with the rice.
