Ingredients

  • 1 cup long-grain white rice, rinsed

Method

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring 1 1/4 cups water to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir in the rice, salt, and butter, if using, and return to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the liquid has been absorbed, 17-18 minutes.
