Instructions
- In a large bowl, add in your rice and cold water. Use your hands and gently rub the rice between them to clean them. Drain and repeat the process until the water isn’t cloudy anymore.
- Thoroughly drain the rice using a fine-mesh strainer before adding the rice to a pot with the butter/oil, salt, and water.
- Bring the pot to a boil on high heat then lower the heat, cover it with your lid, and let simmer for 15-20 minutes. It’s done when all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender. If not, add a splash of water and simmer a few more minutes until the rice is tender. Do not lift your lid before this, try to only check on your rice once as opening the lid lets all the steam escape.
- Keeping the lid on, remove the pot from the heat and let it rest for 5-7 minutes before fluffing it with a fork or spatula and serve.
