Ingredients
-
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
-
1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
-
2 cups water
-
½ teaspoon salt
Directions
-
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add rice and stir to coat. Cook until rice grains begin to turn opaque, 1 to 2 minutes; do not brown. Add water and salt.
-
Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 15 minutes. Do not lift the lid.
-
Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
Cook’s Note
If you wish to double this, use just 3 3/4 cups water.
For a more flavorful side dish, I use broth or stock instead of water and any herbs or seasonings that complement the entrée.
