How to Cook Rice

How I Cook Rice

Note, I use basmati rice when the dish doesn’t need sticky rice. I prefer the texture. These directions are good to use with most any white rice.

Directions
In a saucepan, bring water to a boil.

Stir in rice.

Cover, reduce heat and cook for 20 minutes.

Remove from heat, fluff with fork. Let set for 5 minutes then serve.

Options
Add 1 tablespoon butter and 1 teaspoon salt per cup of rice.

Measure out and add a 1/4 cup of soy or Worcestershire sauce.

Use chicken broth in place of the water. I nearly always do this for fried rice. Make sure you make your rice for fried rice at least a day ahead of time.
