Arroz Blanco (Easy White Rice Recipe)
An easy white rice recipe made with long-grain rice either on the stovetop or in a rice cooker. Both methods are practically fool-proof. Arroz Blanco is a Cuban's favorite side dish and is typically paired with black beans or picadillo.
Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain white rice rinsed thoroughly
- 2 cups water
- 1.5 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt or more to taste
Instructions
To cook rice in the rice cooker
- Add the rice, water, oil, and salt to the rice cooker. Cook according to manufacturer instructions. Fluff with a fork when cooked.
To cook rice on the stove
- In a large saucepan, add the rice, water, oil and salt. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
- Remove from the heat but do not open the lid for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. The result is soft, fluffy white rice, not mushy nor wet. It's perfect. Serve and enjoy!
