Steamed White Rice
- Ready In:
- 50mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 2 cups rice
- 3 cups water
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 1 dash black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 garlic clove (thinly sliced in strips)
directions
- In a large pyrex pot, pour in every ingredient except for the rice. Turn it on high until the water starts to boil. This will take about 5 minutes.
- Once the water is boiling add the rice, stir it well and cover it. Set the burner at low (or medium low if your stove requires a higher setting to steam) for 40 minutes.
- Leave the rice alone! Do not stir it. If you see that it is starting to burn a bit on the bottom, then turn the burner off.
- Remove the lid and with a fork, check the rice to see if it is dry and soft. Then it can be served. Rice burns very easily so you should check it frequently without stirring, when it is soft and dry, then it is ready.

I am a stay at home mother of a toddler daughter, Farah, and a newborn son, Zane. My husband is in the military and we have lived all over and love to travel.
I don't have a favorite cookbook, rather my best source of cooking techniques are southeast asian cuisine learned from locals. I love to watch BBC Food Channel the most. I am not a fan of Rachel Ray or Emeril's 'kick it up a notch' nonsense!
