Recipe by Tricia Manzanero from allrecipes.com

Side Dish 30 Mins.

Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 1 cup long-grain white rice (such as jasmine or basmati)
  • 1.5 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter or oil
  • 0.75 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • Gather all ingredients.
  • Rinse rice using a fine-mesh strainer, gently stirring by hand, until water runs somewhat clear.
  • Thoroughly drain rice and place in a 8-cup microwave safe bowl or container; add water, butter or oil, and salt.
  • Microwave uncovered on HIGH until water is mostly absorbed and some steam holes appear on the surface, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Cover tightly with microwave safe plastic wrap, lid, or plate; microwave on HIGH for 4 more minutes until rice is tender and water is fully absorbed. Let stand, covered, for 6 minutes.
  • Uncover; fluff and taste rice using a fork. If rice is not yet tender, cover and microwave on HIGH in 1-minute intervals as needed until rice reaches desired consistency.
  • Serve immediately.
