Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup water
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup long-grain white rice, rinsed

Steps:

  • Bring water, butter, and salt to a boil in medium saucepan. Stir in rice and return to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid, 16 to 18 minutes (check only toward end of cooking time). The rice should be studded with craters, or steam holes, when it is ready. Remove from heat and let steam, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve.

I've tried this recipe several times and I can't seem to get it right. The rice always comes out either too mushy or too dry.

This recipe is a great starting point for cooking rice, but I find that I need to adjust the amount of water depending on the type of rice I'm using.

The rice was a little mushy for my taste, but overall it was a good recipe. I'll try it again with less water next time.
