How to make Haitian white rice

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil is a healthier fat option, while canola is often cheaper.

Measure 2 cups of long-grain rice using a scale or measuring cup.

Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to a pot and heat it.

Clean and chop scallion, then fry it in the hot oil until it turns a little brown.

Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the oil and scallion mixture.

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

Wash the rice under cold water until the water runs clear, but only after the water is boiling.

Add the washed rice to the boiling water and stir it well to avoid clumping.

Cover the pot and reduce the heat to medium-low (about 5 or 6 on the stove).

After 10 minutes, check the rice and stir it again to ensure even cooking.

Once the rice is cooked, add a little more oil and mix it in, then cover for an additional 5 minutes.

Serve the rice with black bean sauce and chicken.
