DIRECTIONS:

RINSE THE RICE

STEP 1

Place the rice into a fine mesh strainer and rinse with cold water (tap water). Wash the rice for about 20 seconds until the water runs clear. This will help get rid of the dusty starch and prevent the rice from being too sticky.

STEP 2

Add water into a medium size nonstick cooking pot. The amount of water needed will be based on the type of rice you use.

 - White Basmati rice: for 1 cup (6 oz.) of rice add 2 cups of water.

 - White Long Grain rice: for 1 cup (6 oz.) of rice adds 1 ½ (one and half) cup of water.

If you will be using other types of rice, a ratio of 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water (which you can scale up or down depending on how you like your rice) is usually followed but always check the instructions on the packaging to see the recommended amount of water for the type of rice you’ll be cooking.

STEP 3

Place the pot and put the stove on medium heat. Add 1 tsp. butter, ¾ (three-quarters) tsp. salt - or to your preference - and  1 ¼ (one and quarter) tsp. Tahoon - Kidra Yellow Rice Spice (Saffron Rice Spice) - or to your preference - to the water, cover and keep it on medium heat until the water boils.

To achieve its best flavor don’t add any other spices aside from the Tahoon -Kidra yellow rice spice (Saffron Rice Spice).

STEP 4

Add the rice to the pot and stir. Cover and cook it on low heat for about 18 minutes until the water disappears.

Do NOT take off the lid! Keeping the steam inside the pot is important to make sure the rice will be cooked evenly. After 18 minutes, check the rice and see if it needs more cooking. You may continue to cook it for another minute or two then turn off the stove. Add 1 tsp. butter - or to your preference - on top of rice then cover the pot and let it rest for a few minutes (about 5 minutes) to get the flavor.

STEP 5

When yellow rice (saffron rice) is finished, scoop out the rice using (preferably) a silicone or plastic spatula to transfer to a serving dish, Enjoy!
