Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Puerto Rican Rice Dish.
Step 1
To start your delicious journey, gather your ingredients: water, vegetable oil, salt, and uncooked Calrose rice.
Step 2
In a cozy saucepan, mix together the water, vegetable oil, and a pinch of salt.
Step 3
Place it over high heat and bring this mixture to a lively boil.
Step 4
Once you see those bubbles dancing, it’s time to add your rinsed rice.
Step 5
Give it a gentle stir to combine everything, and let the magic happen as the water cooks down, almost disappearing.
Step 6
Now, lower the heat to medium-low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let the rice simmer peacefully for about 20 to 25 minutes.
Step 7
Resist the urge to peek inside; this is when the rice absorbs all that wonderful flavor! When the time is up, carefully lift the lid and fluff the rice with a gentle stir.
Step 8
Serve it warm and enjoy the delightful aroma.
Step 9
Just a heads up, the rice might be a bit sticky and could cling to the bottom of the pot, but that’s all part of its charm! Enjoy your perfectly cooked Calrose rice as a comforting side or a base for your favorite dishes.
