Ingredients

• 1 cup Long grain white rice
• 2 cups Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the rice under cold water in a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming sticky.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, bring the 2 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the rinsed rice, salt, and butter to the boiling water. Stir once to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with the lid, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Step 5

Turn off the heat and let the rice sit, covered, for 5 minutes. This time allows the rice to finish cooking through residual steam, making it fluffy.

Step 6

Fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains before serving.
