Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (200g) long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups (480ml) water or chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) salt
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (240g) sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh chives or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
  2. Boil water or broth in a medium saucepan and add the salt and butter.
  3. Add the rice to the boiling liquid, stirring briefly.
  4. Cover the saucepan with a lid and reduce heat to low. Cook for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Fold the sour cream mixture into the cooked rice until evenly coated.
  7. Serve warm, garnished with fresh chives or parsley if desired.
