Cooking white rice or arroz blanco dominican style is pretty easy. I love eating my dominican white rice recipe almost with everything, especially with the dominican flag (bandera dominicana) combination, which includes stewed chicken, white rice and stewed red beans.

Ingredients:

- 3 cups long grain rice (look for a tip of what I do before serving time at the bottom)
- 4 1/2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil

Directions:

Bring the water to a boil on medium heat with salt and oil. Wash the rice twice with tab water and drain it (you can use a colander). Add the rice to the boiling water and stir. Cook uncover, stirring constantly to avoid the rice to stick to the bottom (the concon is suposed to form during the low heat cooking stage, not before).

When all the water has comsumed, stir again, cover and low the heat to the lowets level. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes. Uncover and stir from bottom to top. It must be tender. If not, cook for five minutes more.

See? I told you, cooking white rice or arroz blanco dominican style is a breeze!

**Do you know what I do? Just before serving time I stir the rice with a fork. It makes the rice grains nice and loose, and easier to serve.
