Ingredients:

  • 2 cups calrose rice
  • 3 cups water
  • 1/4 cup oil ( olive or canola)
  • 1 tbsp sea salt

Directions:

  1. Stir rice and water into a medium pot with lid. Bring to a boil.
  2. Add salt and oil. Keep mixture at a gentle boil until rice is dry (it will not be tender). Use a mixing spoon to form a heap with the rice in the center of the pot.
  3. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low.
  4. Remove lid every 5 minutes to stir and sample rice. Rice will form a crust on the bottom of the pot if not stirred often.
  5. When rice is steamed to your liking, stir one last time to fluff; serve.
