Cooking Steps

Cook rice
1
  • Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
  • To a medium pot, add 1 cup (2 cups) water, half the stock powder and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear. 
  • To the boiling water, stir in rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 12-14 min, until rice is almost tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered. (NOTE: Rice will finish cooking and become fully tender in step 5.)
