Perfect White Rice
If you want to know how to make perfect white rice, you’ve come to the right place. This will be your go-to way of enjoying delicious white rice for so many recipes.
With these few simple steps, you will have perfect white rice each and every time.
I have tried many times starting with cold water. It just wasn’t the right texture.
Then, I started out with boiling water, it came out perfect. For my method there are only 3 ingredients, 4 if you add butter. Which I think gives a rich full flavor of the rice.
What I really like about white rice is it is very versatile, goes with almost any main meal and the best desserts too.
