Perfect Basic White Rice

"You do not need to be afraid of cooking rice again! lol Real rice is so much better for you than instant. So here is a basic recipe that will have you cooking rice like a pro! Check out the options too! Your friends and family will think you're a star! "

Ingredients

  • 1 cup long grain rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon butter (optional)
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon white vinegar (optional)

Directions

  • In a saucepan with a good fitting lid bring water, salt and optional ingredients if desired to a boil. The salt and butter are simply for flavor. The vinegar keeps your grains separated and gives you a prettier dish. No one will taste the vinegar at all!
  • Add rice and stir.
  • Cover and reduce heat to low. You will know that your temperature is correct if a little steam is visible leaking from the lid. A lot of steam means your heat is too high.
  • Cook for 20 minutes.
  • DO NOT LIFT LID!
  • The steam that is trapped inside the pan is what allows the rice to cook properly.
  • Remove from heat and fluff with fork.
  • Serve!
