Dominican White Rice (Arroz Blanco)
Authentic Dominican white rice is rice that's good enough to eat on its own, and the perfect side dish for any Dominican meal.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1½ cups water
- 1 cup extra long grain rice washed
Instructions
- In a pot over medium heat, combine oil and salt. Let it got hot, which should only take about 2-3 minutes, then carefully add the water to the pot.
- Let the water come to a boil before adding the rice. Stir the rice and cook until almost all of the water is absorbed, stirring frequently to prevent from sticking.
- After most of the water is absorbed, use a spoon to form a mound in the center of the pot with the rice, making sure no rice is touching the sides. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Remove from heat and fluff with a fork. Let it sit covered for 5 minutes and enjoy with a side of habichuelas guisadas. Buen provecho!
