BASMATI RICE

Steps:

• Cook the butter and onions over medium heat until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the rice and toss until all of the grains are coated with the butter. Add the water and salt, cover and cook until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow to sit covered for 5 to 10 minutes. Add the scallions and parsley, fluff with a fork, and serve.

Steps:

• Put the water to boil in a pot on the stove-top.
• Once it starts boiling rapidly, lower flame and add the drained rice to it.

• Bring to a boil.
• Once it comes to a boil, lower flame and allow it to cook, uncovered, until all the water has been absorbed by the rice.
• Remove from heat.
• Fluff the rice with a fork or a spoon.
• Now, carefully transfer the cooked rice to a rice strainer.
• Mix once with a spoon or fork.
• Open the cold water faucet in your kitchen sink.
• Place the cooked rice that's in the strainer under the cold water faucet.
• Let the cold water wash over every single grain of rice.
• Keep mixing the rice grains as the water gushes over them.
• Once you have given the rice grains a"cold water bath"{as I call it}, and drained out as much water as possible from the rice through the rice strainer, transfer the rice to a large plate.
• Now, spread the grains as much as possible from each other in the plate.
• Put the plate in your microwave oven.
• Microwave for 10 minutes.
• Dont adjust the power setting to Hi or Low or Medium Hi or Medium Low.
• Don't bother about that.
• Just microwave the rice, uncovered, for exactly 10 minutes.
• Do not mix the rice in these 10 minutes.
• Do not disturb it.
• Let the RICE GODDESS WORK HER MAGIC on every single grain.
• Once 10 minutes are up, let the rice sit for 2 minutes before you open the microwave and take out the cooked rice.
• Mix well and serve it right off the plate.
• If its not gone in 30 seconds, I'll change my name!
