How to Make Arroz Blanco White Rice

  1. Rinse 1 cup of white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch for fluffier rice.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 1 ¾ cups of water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and let the rice stand, covered, for 10 minutes. This allows the rice to steam and finish cooking.
  5. Fluff the rice gently with a fork before serving. Enjoy!
