Ingredients
  • ½ cup white rice
  • ½ cup water or broth
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • any spices or flavorings desired
Instructions
  1. Set up the sous vide water bath for 200 degrees F.
  2. Rinse the rice to remove any surface starch.
  3. In a recloseable bag, add the rice, salt, seasonings (if desired), and water (or broth).
  4. Using the water displacement method, remove as much air as possible before closing.
  5. Place the bag into the water bath and clip to the side.
  6. After 25 minutes, remove the bag and empty into a bowl.
  7. Lightly fluff the rice with a fork.
Notes
Some ideas for flavorings I have tried are:
Asian - ginger and garlic with jasmine rice
Caribbean - black pepper, oregano, cumin, cayenne pepper, paprika, and dried cilantro with medium and long grain
Cajun - black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, creole seasoning, and file with long grain

This recipe is based on information from Dan Souza's video for America's Test Kitchen.
