White Rice - olive oil

Method

• In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat the oil.
• Add the garlic and cook until light golden brown, about 30 seconds.
• Add the rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until it turns milky white, about 4 minutes.
• Add 4 cups of water and bring to a boil.
• Add the salt, cover, lower the heat, and simmer until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
• Fluff with a fork and serve.
• Dry rice and noodles are common pantry staples because they can be kept for up to a year when stored carefully.
• For this reason, its a good idea to buy them in bulk, which can be a real money saver.
