recipe for restaurant style rice?

Answer 1

White Rice Pilaf Style
Serves 8

This is a pretty basic, mild flavored recipe. If you like your food on the spicy side add some extra seasoning to the recipe.

3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons white onions, chopped
2 cups rice
3 cups water, hot
4 each bouillon cubes, chicken
1 each bay leaf

Melt butter in a pot that has a tight fitting lid and add the onions for about 5 minutes until tender but not browned. Stir in the rice and stir to coat the rice with butter.

Once coated, add the hot water, bouillon cubes, and the bay leaf and bring to a boil.

Once you reach a boil cover the rice and reduce the heat to its lowest setting. Cook for 25 minutes covered. Do not stir, do not look, do not worry.

Remove from heat after 25 minutes and set aside for 20 minutes covered. Do not look, do not stir, do not worry.

If you did not look, did not stir and did not worry you should now have perfect fluffy white rice.
