Buttered Rice

This buttered rice is a simple side dish that’s perfect to whip up when you need something quick and easy. It’s full of buttery flavor, you could practically eat the rice all by itself!

We all need side dish recipes that are quick, easy, and mindless to throw together. This Buttered Rice could not fit the bill any better. I take plain white rice and use 2 ingredients to transform this into a flavorful buttery side.

Buttered Rice Ingredients:

  • Butter
  • Better Than Bouillon Roasted Chicken Base

If you love butter (who doesn’t?) than you know that butter makes everything better. This recipe only calls for 1 tablespoon but it makes a huge difference. I like using salted butter so I don’t have to season the rice, but if you’re trying to watch your salt intake use unsalted butter.

Basic rice recipes call for water or broth. I like to substitute with better than bouillon roasted chicken base. This stuff is like liquid gold in a jar. Better than bouillon base is basically a super concentrated stock that cooks much longer and results in a richer, more intense flavor. However, it is saltier than using store-bought broth and a little goes a long way. You’ll want to follow the manufactures instructions on the back of the jar when adding it to water.

My favorite rice to use for this recipe is long-grain white rice, it comes out fluffy and light. You can also use jasmine, basmati or brown rice. Just follow the manufactures cooking instructions for the rice and add the bouillon base to the liquid along with the butter.
