Puerto Rican White Rice

Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Stir rice and water into a medium pot with lid. Bring to a boil.

2. 2

   Add salt and oil. Keep mixture at a gentle boil until rice is dry (it will not be tender). Use a mixing spoon to form a heap with the rice in the center of the pot.

3. 3

   Cover and reduce heat to medium-low.

4. 4

   Remove lid every 5 minutes to stir and sample rice. Rice will form a crust on the bottom of the pot if not stirred often.

5. 5

   When rice is steamed to your liking, stir one last time to fluff; serve.
