Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 cup rice e.g. Basmati
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Rinse rice until water runs mostly clear.
  2. Add rice to a small saucepan.
  3. Add water, olive oil and salt to the rice and bring to boil.
  4. As soon as water starts to boil, cover, reduce heat to lowest setting (level 1 for me) and cook for 15 minutes.
  5. Remove from stove and fluff with a fork. You can let it rest for a bit, but it is not required.

Notes

  • - You don't have to have a measuring cup. Use any cup/glass you have, just make sure to have the same amount of water as you do of rice.
  • - Since all stoves are different, you might need to test which level to cook at the first time you cook.
  • - If you are cooking on a glass top or ceramic stove, don't bring the rice to boil on the highest heat. Bring it to boil on medium-high. In my experience, if you bring the rice to boil at the highest heat, the stove doesn't cool down fast enough when you reduce the heat, and the rice at the bottom becomes hard.
