Every cook should master making the Perfect White Rice Recipe. It really could not be easier and goes with a variety of foods. I like to prepare the rice ahead of time and freeze it to have it available with other quick and easy meals. Perfectly cooked white rice is my favorite side dish for Asian entrees. And while I would love to prepare a full meal every weeknight, it does not always happen.
