Add a little oil to a saucepan. Add the finely chopped onion and garlic and cook over medium heat until both ingredients are lightly browned.
Next, add the rice and stir until the grains become almost translucent.
Add 2 cups of water to the saucepan and season with salt to taste (usually 1/2 teaspoon is enough). Stir well and turn the heat up to high. Wait for the mixture to come to a boil.
Once it comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and cover. Let it cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed.
Once the rice is ready, remove it from the heat and let it rest, covered, for about 5 minutes. Fluff the grains with a fork before serving. This will make the rice fluffier.
And that's it!

FAQ ❓

Can I use another type of rice for this recipe?

Yes, you can use brown rice, jasmine rice, basmati rice, or other types of rice. However, keep in mind that cooking times and water ratios may vary depending on the type of rice.

How can I tell if the rice is cooked properly?

The rice is cooked when the grains are tender and all the water has been absorbed. If the rice is still hard or crunchy, or if there is too much water left in the pot, you may need to adjust the cooking time or the rice-to-water ratio.

How should I store leftover white rice?

Store leftover white rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. To reheat it, put the rice in a saucepan with a little water or broth and heat it over medium-low heat until hot and tender. You can also reheat it in the microwave, adding a little water and covering it with a lid or plastic wrap.
