To cook rice on the stove

  • Into a large saucepan, add the oil, water, and salt. Bring to a boil then stir in the rice.
  • Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 18-20 minutes until all the water is absorbed. DO NOT REMOVE THE LID. The steam is what helps it cook.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat. Do not uncover yet. Wait about 5 minutes then uncover and fluff with a fork. Serve and enjoy!
