Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon oil (see notes)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (see notes)
  • minced garlic ((optional) see notes)
  • 1 cup white rice, rinsed

Instruction

  • In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the water, oil, salt and garlic (if using) and stir. Bring mixture to a boil.
  • Add the rice and stir. Cover and lower the heat to low.
  • Cook for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid. During the cooking time, don't open the lid. If you cannot resist peeking, only check towards the end of the cooking time. You will see lots of steam holes. The steam is what allows the rice to cook and get tender.
  • Remove from the heat and fluff with a fork. Serve.
