Fluffy white rice

The right ratio, a quick sauté and a short rest at the end: everyday fluffy rice in a ceramic-coated casserole.

Fluffy rice depends on three things: rinsing it well (or not, if the package says so), the water ratio, and not stirring once the water is in. In a ceramic-coated casserole with a lid, nothing sticks to the bottom.

Made with Elegance Black Casserole

Method

  1. 1

    Boil the water in a kettle.

  2. 2

    In the casserole, heat the oil and lightly brown the garlic and onion.

  3. 3

    Add the rice and salt and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring, until the grains turn glossy.

  4. 4

    Add the boiling water, stir just once and let it boil over medium heat, uncovered, until the water drops to the level of the rice.

  5. 5

    Turn the heat down to low, cover and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, until the water is absorbed.

  6. 6

    Turn off the heat and let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Tips

  • Use boiling water: the rice cooks evenly and comes out fluffier.
