Ingredients
4
1 & half cups Parboiled rice
3 cups Water
1 tablespoon Olive oil
1 teaspoon Salt
Tips
Rinse the parboiled rice thoroughly before cooking to remove excess starch.
Adjust water quantity based on desired texture—less water for firmer rice and more for softer grains.
Let the rice rest covered for 5 minutes after cooking to ensure fluffy texture.
Directions
Rinse the parboiled rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
Drain well.
In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the drained parboiled rice and toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
Pour in water and add salt. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until rice is tender and water is absorbed.
Remove from heat and let the rice sit covered for 5 minutes.
Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
Notes
Parboiled rice is known to be easier to digest compared to regular rice, making it suitable for individuals with sensitive stomachs.
