GARLIC BUTTER RICE
I love rice. I also love garlic and cook with it a lot. It took a few tries to get the correct measurements for this recipe in order to submit it. I don't always use measurements when I cook. This is very easy to make. This is a very moist and buttery rice with a good, but not overpowering garlic flavor. For rice with less moisture, use less water and for a less garlicky flavor, use less garlic. I read in an article on an internet medical site, that if garlic is cooked too long, it loses some of its healthful benefits. They said not to cook garlic any longer than 3-6 minutes. I have also noticed that it loses some of its flavor if it's cooked too long. Therefore, I add the garlic towards the end of the cooking time to get more of a garlic flavor and more healthful benefits from the garlic. I will sometimes have this for breakfast with a fried egg. I just put some of the rice on a plate and put a fried egg on it and mix it together. It is really good that way. I also serve the rice with gravy over it as a side dish with some meat. It is also good just by itself. The chicken bouillon is optional but it adds to the flavor of the rice. If you have to or are watching your sodium intake, you might want to omit the bouillon or use less of it. I have found that jasmine rice gives the best results for this recipe but you can also use white rice. Prep and cooking times are estimates. NOTE: Due to the first review, I have edited this recipe.

Steps:
- Melt the butter or margarine in a 10" skillet over med-high heat.
- Add the rice and stir.
- Add the bouillon cube(s) and stir until softened or dissolved.
- I use a spoon and break the bouillon cube(s) apart while it is dissolving so that it dissolves faster.
- Watch closely so that the rice does not start to brown.
- You might need to lower the heat if the rice starts to brown or appears to be cooking too fast.
- Add the water and stir.
- Cover with a lid and bring it to a boil.
- Lower the heat to med to med-low and cook for 10 minutes or until rice is almost tender and a lot, but not all, of the water/butter mixture has been absorbed.
- This comes out better if it is "slow cooked".
- Add the garlic and stir.
- Put the lid back on the skillet and continue cooking for 5 more minutes or until the rice is tender and all of the water has been absorbed.
- There may still be some melted butter at the bottom of the skillet, but that is okay.
- Stir well and turn the burner off.
- Let the skillet sit on the burner until you are ready to serve the rice.
GARLIC BUTTER RICE (RICE COOKER)
This is one of my favorite seasoned rice dishes. Once everything is in the rice cooker, it is hands hand. The Thai family loves it when I make this as it is a nice change for them from seasoned rice.

Steps:
- 1. Place the first 5 ingredients in your rice cooker and mix evenly. Add the water. Set the cooker to the Cook setting. (After this photo, then the rice was added and mixed together.)
- 2. When the cooker switches to Warm setting, fluff the rice with a spoon and taste, season with just a pinch of salt if needed. Serve as a side with any main dish.
Tips:
- Choose the right type of rice. Long-grain rice, such as basmati or jasmine, works best for garlic butter rice.
- Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking. This will remove any starch and help the rice cook evenly.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot or pan to cook the rice. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the rice from burning.
- Add the garlic and butter to the pot or pan along with the rice. This will help to infuse the rice with flavor.
- Cook the rice according to the package directions. Be sure to use the correct amount of water and cook the rice for the specified amount of time.
- Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the rice to absorb the flavors of the garlic and butter.
Conclusion:
Garlic butter rice is a simple but delicious dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice.
