HOW TO COOK RICE - ECUADORIAN OR LATIN AMERICAN STYLE WHITE RICE



How to cook rice - Ecuadorian or Latin American style white rice image

Easy recipe for cooking rice Ecuadorian (or Latin) style, both basic white rice and arroz amarillo or yellow achiote rice.

Provided by Layla Pujol

Categories     Side Dish

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups of uncooked white rice (I like to use long grain rice (sorted and rinsed if needed) or calrose short grain rice)
2 tbs oil or butter ( - plus extra butter for finishing (optional))
2 tbs minced or finely chopped white onions
2 1/2 cups water (adjust based on the type of rice and altitude)
Salt to taste
Optional - 1 garlic clove (minced)
½ teaspoon of ground achiote or annatto powder

Steps:

  • Heat the oil or butter on medium temperature in medium sized saucepan or pot.
  • Add the minced onions and garlic (and achiote if making arroz amarillo or yellow rice), cook until the onions are translucent or soft, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the rice and stir it in so that it is well coated by the oil, add the water and salt - increase the heat and bring it to a boil.
  • Let the water boil and reduce until it barely covers the rice. Cover with a tight lid, reduce the temperature to simmer and cook for about 20-25 minutes. Taste and make sure it's fully cooked. If the rice is on the older side it might take an extra 5-10 minutes to cook. Remove from the heat, gently fluff it, and cover again for 5 minutes before serving.
  • For an extra bit of flavor, you can add 1-2 tbs of butter (in small slices) to the rice during the those last 5 minutes.

PUERTO RICAN WHITE RICE



Puerto Rican White Rice image

I can never get steamed white rice to come out right. A friend from Puerto Rico showed me this method. Lift the lid and sample as often as you like without fear of ruining the rice! Perfect and delicious every time. Total cook time will vary depending on altitude.

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups calrose rice
3 cups water
1/4 cup oil (olive or canola)
1 tablespoon sea salt

Steps:

  • Stir rice and water into a medium pot with lid. Bring to a boil.
  • Add salt and oil. Keep mixture at a gentle boil until rice is dry (it will not be tender). Use a mixing spoon to form a heap with the rice in the center of the pot.
  • Cover and reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Remove lid every 5 minutes to stir and sample rice. Rice will form a crust on the bottom of the pot if not stirred often.
  • When rice is steamed to your liking, stir one last time to fluff; serve.
