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.

Here’s one of my rice pudding recipes and more rice dishes down below.

Try this easy method out and taste for yourself.
