Ingredients
- 1 cup long grain white rice rinsed and drained
- 500 ml chicken stock
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon fine salt
- 1½ tablespoon unsalted butter
- finely chopped chives optional garnish
Instructions
- Place chicken stock in a heavy-based pot (with a lid), then add rice, garlic powder, onion powder and salt.
- Stir to combine then bring to the boil.
- Once the stock has come to the boil, give the rice one last stir (making sure to scrape the base of the pan) then put the lid on and turn the heat down to very low and cook for 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
- Then remove the pot from the heat and allow it to sit for a further 10 minutes (still without lifting the lid).
- Give it a gentle mix to fluff rice and stir through butter to melt.
- Sprinkle with chives (if using) and serve.

Notes
- *Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
- Scraping the base of the pot to dislodge any slightly stuck rice grains just before you put the lid will help stop the rice from sticking to the base.
