Perfect Steamed Rice
Never burn a pot of rice again! Here's my foolproof method for perfectly light and fluffy steamed white rice on the stovetop.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup long-grained white rice (I prefer Jasmine or Basmati)
- 2 cups water
- ½ teaspoon coarse salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat for about a minute. Add rice, salt and pepper.
- Stir mixture for about 30 seconds, until rice is evenly coated in the oil and some of the rice grains appear to turn translucent.
- Add the water to the saucepan, increase heat to medium high heat and bring mixture to a boil.
- As soon as mixture boils, reduce heat to low and cover saucepan with a lid. Set a timer for 15 minutes.
- When timer is done, turn stove off but leave saucepan as it is, do not open the lid. Let it sit for at least 5 minutes, or until ready to serve.
- Before serving, fluff gently with a fork.
