Vida Recetas Editorial
White rice is a basic and versatile side dish that cannot be missing in the kitchen. This perfect white rice recipe will teach you how to prepare it simply, with a fluffy and flavorful result. Originally from Asia, rice has become a staple food worldwide, and this preparation is ideal for accompanying meats, fish, vegetables, or any stew.
Why does this recipe work?
The key is to wash the rice to remove excess starch, lightly toast the grains with garlic and olive oil, and cook with the right water ratio (2.5 cups per cup of rice). The bay leaf adds a subtle aroma, and the final rest under a cloth ensures perfect grains.
Variations and tips

- Add a little butter or oil at the end for shine.
- If you prefer drier rice, reduce water to 2 cups.

IMPORTANT COOKING INFORMATION* I always check the cooking time on the package because it can vary from one type of rice to another. Once the time has elapsed, I remove the rice from the heat and with a clean cloth I cover the pan or saucepan where it has been cooked for a few minutes. The result is rice at its point, loose and delicious.
