Ingredients
2 cups Long Grain Rice
4 cups Vegetable Broth
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
3 Garlic Cloves, minced
4 Green Onions, sliced
Instructions
Rinse the rice in a fine-mesh sieve under cold running water for one minute.
Drain the rice completely.
Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
Sauté the minced garlic for thirty seconds until fragrant.
Add the rinsed rice to the pot and stir gently for one minute to toast.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to the lowest setting, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for eighteen minutes.
Remove from heat and let it rest covered for five minutes before fluffing with a fork.
Notes
Rinsing the rice is essential to achieving individual, non-sticky grains. Use a tight-fitting lid to trap steam effectively. You can substitute basmati or jasmine rice depending on your preference for aroma or texture.
