Make this Super Fluffy Garlic Butter Rice in under 30 minutes. You get perfectly cooked, aromatic rice infused with fresh garlic and rich butter. This simple side dish elevates any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced finely
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice (like Basmati or Jasmine)
  • 1 3/4 cups water or low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add the minced garlic to the melted butter. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Do not let the garlic brown.
  3. Add the rice and salt to the saucepan. Stir constantly for 1 to 2 minutes to toast the grains lightly in the butter mixture.
  4. Pour in the water or broth. Bring the liquid to a boil.
  5. Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover the saucepan tightly with a lid, and simmer for 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
  6. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Let it stand, covered, for an additional 10 minutes to steam.
  7. Fluff the rice gently with a fork. Stir in half of the fresh parsley.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with the remaining parsley.

Notes

  • Using broth instead of water adds deeper flavor to your rice.
  • Do not lift the lid during the 15-minute simmering time; this traps the steam needed for fluffiness.
  • Rinsing the rice is optional but can result in a less sticky texture.
