Perfect White Rice Recipe

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil adds healthy fats while margarine is often less expensive.

Rinse white rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Combine rinsed rice, water, and salt in a medium saucepan.

Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.

Once boiling, reduce heat to low and cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.

Simmer for 18-20 minutes until the water is absorbed and rice is tender.

Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes to steam.

Fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains.

If desired, stir in butter for added flavor.
