How To Make The Easiest Puerto Rican White Rice | Long Grain

long-grain rice

🥗Healthier: brown rice

💰Cheaper: medium-grain rice

Brown rice adds fiber and nutrients, while medium-grain rice is often less expensive.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point, while canola oil is more budget-friendly.

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a 2.6 quart calo (or deep pot).

Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the pot.

Pour in 3 cups of water and bring to a boil.

Rinse 2 cups of long grain rice in cold water until it's pretty clear (not necessarily until the water runs clear).

Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed rice to the pot.

Mix the rice with the boiling water briefly.

Reduce heat to low (setting 2 on electric stove or 1.5 on gas stove) and cover the pot tightly.

Cook for 20 minutes without lifting the lid or stirring.

After 20 minutes, stir the rice to combine the salt and oil evenly.
