White Long Grain Rice for 3 Servings

Instructions:

1. Place 1 cup (185g) long grain white rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water for about 60 seconds, stirring with fingers, until the water runs clear.
2. Shake the strainer well to remove all excess water.
3. Add the rinsed rice, 1 ¾ cups (415ml) water, ½ tsp (3g) fine sea salt, and 1 tbsp (14g) unsalted butter to a medium saucepan.
4. Set the heat to medium-high and bring the water to a gentle boil.
5. Immediately reduce the heat to the lowest setting and cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid.
6. Simmer undisturbed for 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
7. Remove the pot from the heat entirely and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes to allow moisture to redistribute.
8. Remove the lid and use a fork to gently lift and separate the grains.
