Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Perfect Buttered White Rice.
Step 1
To start your delicious rice dish, grab a medium saucepan and melt some butter over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the butter is bubbling gently, add in your uncooked rice, giving it a good stir to coat each grain with that rich, buttery goodness.
Step 3
Cook the rice for about 1 to 2 minutes until it turns slightly opaque—just be careful not to let it brown, as we want to keep that lovely white color.
Step 4
Next, pour in the water and sprinkle in the salt, stirring everything together to ensure the flavors meld beautifully.
Step 5
Now, turn up the heat and bring the mixture to a lively boil.
Step 6
Once you see those bubbles dancing, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it simmer peacefully for 15 minutes.
Step 7
Resist the urge to peek during this time; the steam is doing its magic! After the timer goes off, take the saucepan off the heat but keep it covered for another 5 minutes.
Step 8
This resting period allows the rice to finish cooking and absorb any remaining moisture.
Step 9
Finally, grab a fork and fluff the rice gently, separating the grains for that perfect texture.
Step 10
Serve it up and enjoy the delightful aroma and taste of your perfectly cooked rice!.
