White Rice

There are many varieties of white rice available, including long-grain and short-grain. The cooking time for each type is slightly different.

White Rice: 1 cup white rice; 2 cups water; salt to taste (optional); butter or oil (optional)

Place the dry rice in a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Add the amount of water specified on your package instructions, plus an extra cup or two if you want to increase the yield. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat and simmer until all liquid has been absorbed by your cooked white rices

Brown Rice

Brown rice is a whole grain that has a nuttier flavor, chewier texture and more fiber than white rice. Brown rice also contains more vitamins and minerals than white rice.

Because of these differences in nutritional content, brown rice takes longer to cook than white rice (about 45 minutes). But once it’s done, you can use it in place of the regular stuff in any recipe–or eat it as is!

Basmati Rice

1 cup white rice

2 cups water

1/2 tsp salt (optional) 1/4 tsp oil 1 tbsp butter

Cook rice according to your preference.

• White rice should be cooked for 15-20 minutes.
• Brown rice should be cooked for 45-55 minutes.
• Basmati rice should be cooked for 20-25 minutes.
