Ingredients for Butter Rice

  • Unsalted butter: It may seem like there’s a lot of butter in this recipe but you need it for the flavor. I promise you will regret nothing.
  • White rice: It soaks up the butter and fluffs up perfectly. You could try this recipe with brown rice but I haven’t done that so I can’t guarantee it will be as delicious.
  • Kosher salt: Adds flavor to this simple, delicious dish.
  • Chicken stock: This recipe uses chicken stock instead of water to boil the rice. It makes a huge difference in flavor and is worth the extra few bucks.

How to Make Butter Rice

The process for making this dish is pretty much the same as making plain white rice. The only difference is a little toasting process.

First, melt the butter in your saucepan over medium heat. Add the rice and toast it in the butter. Cook it for a few minutes, stirring often, until it’s slightly golden. This adds a nutty flavor and creates a yummy texture.

Add the salt and chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20 minutes. Remove it from the heat, let it sit for 5 minutes then fluff and eat.

The butter and chicken stock add a richness to the rice that really elevates the flavor. The nuttiness the toasting provides also adds another delicious dimension.
