Ingredients:
- 2 cups Medium Grain White Rice
- 2 ½ cups Filtered Water
- 1 ½ tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 ½ tsp Kosher Salt
Instructions:
- Place the rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear.
- Add the rinsed rice, water, oil, and salt into a medium caldero or heavy-bottomed Dutch oven.
- Turn heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a vigorous boil uncovered.
- Cook until the water level drops below the surface of the rice and small steam holes form.
- Stir the rice gently once from the bottom up, then reduce heat to the lowest setting.
- Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and simmer undisturbed for 20 minutes to steam.
- Remove from heat, lift the lid, and use a fork to fluff the grains until they are airy and light.
- Use a spatula to gently scrape the crispy, golden layer from the bottom of the pot.
- Transfer to a warm bowl and enjoy the contrast of textures.
