It’s actually difficult to find a good simple white rice recipe. Heres something simple to go along with almost any meal.

Ingredients

1 cup white long grain rice
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups water

Directions

Add the rice to a covered sauce pan. Add the butter, salt, water and stir.

Bring rice to a boil, reduce heat to lowest possible simmer, covered for 15 minutes.

Turn off heat but leave rice covered for 5 minutes longer.

Long grain rice may be fluffed and separated before serving.

Note: Use more or less water depending on humidity and elevation of local where rice is cooked.

Cooking Tip: The more you take the cover off of the rice, the longer it will take to cook. It needs the steam to cook better. I’ve made this mistake.

   I’ve found that if you use vegetable, chicken or beef broth instead of water when cooking rice, you get a nice flavor without a lot of fuss. You also won’t need to add extra salt if you use broth. My kids really enjoy the chicken broth rice the best.
