(Source: Live your life for half the price by Mary Hunt)
I typically couldn't care less about rice -- give me a loaf of bread any day -- but this recipe is too delicious. If you have a rice cooker, this might not be worth the extra work (those things are marvelous!), but if you cook your rice on the stovetop, this may become your new first choice. I put a bit of kosher salt and pepper in it and then try to resist eating the whole pot. We never have leftover rice anymore.
From Live Your Life: Saute 1 cup raw white rice in two tablespoons oil in a sauce pan over high heat until the kernels are well-coated and turn bright white, 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly [ed. note: frequently works for me and is less consuming!]. Add 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring just to blend the ingredients. Cover, leave on the burner and turn the heat to the very lowest setting.
Leave undistubed and covered for 15 minutes (do not peek!). Remove from the burner (still do not peek) and wait for 10 minutes or so while you are getting the rest of the meal on the table.
Now remove the lid, fluff witha fork, season with plenty of salt and pepper to taste.
This recipe multiplies well, but as you increase the rice you decrease the proportion of water. For example: 2 cups of rice with 2 3/4 cups of water.
