Prep time

10 minutes

Cook Time

20 minutes

Ingredient

  • 2 cups of white rice
  • 4 cups of water
  • 1/4 cup of butter
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup of soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup of green onions, chopped (optional)

Equipment

  • Large pot with lid
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cutting board and knife
  • Wooden spoon or rice paddle

Method

  1. Rinse the rice in cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and prevent the rice from becoming sticky.
  2. Add the rice and water to a large pot and bring to a boil over high heat.
  3. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
  4. In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  5. Add the minced garlic to the butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
  6. Stir in the soy sauce and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  7. Remove the pot of rice from the heat and fluff with a wooden spoon or rice paddle.
  8. Pour the garlic butter sauce over the rice and stir until well combined.
  9. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired and serve hot.

Notes

  • For a healthier version of this recipe, you can use brown rice instead of white rice.
  • If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked rice or leftover rice instead of cooking it from scratch.
  • If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, you can add more minced garlic to the butter sauce.
  • If you don't have soy sauce, you can substitute it with tamari or liquid aminos.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
