Basmati Rice on the Stovetop
Fluffy and fragrant, this Basmati Rice on the Stovetop is quick and easy to whip up!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup Basmati rice I prefer long grain
- 2 cup Water
- ΒΌ tsp Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a fine mesh strainer, rinse the rice with cold water until the water runs clear. (Option to soak rice for 15 minutes before straining and rinsing.)
- In a medium sized uncovered pot add strained rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil and cook until water level is at the height of the rice. Then reduce heat to a simmer and cover pot with lid. Cook until rice is tender and fluffy, about 15-20 minutes.
- Remove pot from heat and let rest for 10-15 minutes.
Notes
Don't forget to put leftover rice in the fridge promptly! Rice (and beans) are prone to bacteria that causes food-borne illness after being left out at room temperature for over two hours.
Basmati Rice keeps in the fridge in a well-sealed container for about 5 days.
