Never-Fail Rice image

My friend Jolene gave me this fool-proof recipe 25 years ago. It works for Basmati, Jasmine, Long Grain, just about any type of Rice I've tried. Just follow the recipe and it works every time. I much prefer the flavor of Basmati.

Categories     Rice

Time 25m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup basmati rice, white or 1 cup brown basmati rice
2 cups water or 2 cups chicken stock
3 -5 saffron strands (optional)

Steps:

  • If you're cooking Dessert Rice use Water.
  • If you're cooking Side dish Rice use Chicken Stock.
  • Bring the liquid to a boil.
  • Add the Rice, when the liquid comes back to a boil reduce the heat to a bare simmer.
  • Cover and simmer for 20 min.
  • For Brown Basmati Rice simmer 40 min.
  • NO PEEKING, YOU'LL SPOIL IT! If you let the heat out it changes the cooking time!
  • After the full 20 minutes remove from heat and fluff the rice with a fork.
  • A bit of Saffron added at this time is a good idea for side dish rice.
