Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
Course Side Dish

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Long grain white rice Canilla preferred
  • 2 cups Water
  • 2 tsp Kosher salt Diamond Crystal preferred
  • 1 Tbsp Canola oil

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the rice until the water runs clear and is no longer milky white.
  • With the same measuring cup that you used for the rice, measure out the water and place it in a pot with a tight fitting lid. Stir in the salt and oil.
  • Place over high heat. Just as the water comes to a boil, add in the rice, stir a few times, bring back to a boil, cover immediately and reduce the heat to low.
  • Simmer on low for 35 minutes. Avoid removing the lid during the 35 minute cooking time or the rice can come out hard in the center.
