Rice

4 servings

Rice is a very nutritious and healthy meal. Buy organic if you can to prevent consuming chemicals that are often present in non-organic brands. To make it even easier, buy a rice cooker!

Ingredients:

2 cups of rice of your choice
4 cups of water
Drizzle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
½ TSP of salt
Pinch of pepper

Tools:

1x Measuring Cups
1x Measuring Spoons
1x Fine Mesh Strainer, Fine Mesh Sieve
1x Wooden Spoon
1x Rice Cooker or Medium Sauce Pan (about 4 QT)
1x Silicone Spatula

Directions:

1. Rinse:

1.1.

Place 2 cups of rice to the strainer and thoroughly rinse under cold water.

1.2.

Then add to the rice cooker or pot.

2. Cook:

2.1. Add:

4 cups of water

Briefly stir, cover with a lid, and cook until done:

A. Cooking in rice cooker:

Do not stir rice during cooking.
Do not open the rice cooker during cooking — or at least try to eliminate it.
Most rice cookers will turn off automatically after you are done (follow the manual).

B. Cooking in a pot (on the stove):

Cook covered with a lid on medium head with occasional stirring until all liquid is absorbed. Water should not boil but only simmer during cooking (temperature about 195°)
When all liquid is absorbed, make sure that the rice is cooked by tasting it. If the rice needs more time, add a little more water, and keep cooking for a little longer.

Note:
Brown rice will be more nutritious but will require a longer cooking time. Most rice cookers will automatically preset the necessary cooking time.

3. Final phase:

3.1. Remove pot from the stove or disconnect rice cooked and add:

Drizzle of olive oil
½ TSP of salt
Pinch of ground pepper

Thoroughly mix together with a silicone spatula.

3.2.

Taste and add salt and pepper if needed.
