Ingredients
- Two cups of rice
- four cups of water
- Salt to taste
- Oil
Preparation
Step 1. Soak
A great trick is to soak the rice in water for about 20 minutes so that all the starch is released and its flavor is much lighter.
Step 2. Cook
Take a pot and pour the water and salt into it. Figure out how much salt your rice will need, so give it a stir and taste. Add the rice and mix very well. Cook these ingredients over medium high heat and once you see that it is drying, reduce the heat to low and cover it with a lid.
Step 3. Add and serve
Once the rice has dried, bathe it with a splash of oil to moisten it and let it cook for about 15 more minutes. Finally, your rice will be ready to serve and enjoy every bite. Bon Appetite.
