Easy Hot Buttered Corn Rice Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter (divided)
• 3 big garlic cloves (finely minced)
• 2 cups of frozen corn or fresh corn kernels
• 1/4 teaspoon of cooking salt or kosher salt
• pinch of ground black pepper
• 1 cup of long-grain rice (uncooked, not rinsed)
• 1 1/2 cups of low-sodium chicken stock or broth (plus 2 tablespoons if using fresh corn)
• 2 green onion stems (finely sliced)

Note:

• You can also use basmati, medium grain, or sushi rice for this recipe
• No need to thaw frozen corn

How to Make Hot Buttered Corn Rice

Step 1:

Place a saucepan over high heat and melt half the butter. Add the minced garlic and saute for 15 seconds. Next, add the corn and cook for 2 minutes.

Step 2:

Stir in rice and cook for 1 minute. Next, add chicken stock, ground black pepper, and salt. Stir everything to combine. Let it come to a proper simmer (the whole surface rippling or bubbling).

Step 3:

Once simmering, place the lid and lower the heat to medium-low or low. Cook for 12 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed. Tilt the pot to check; do not peek or stir.

Step 4:

After 12 minutes, remove it from the stove with the lid still on. Let it rest for about 10 minutes. Do not skip this step.

Step 5:

Add the remaining butter and fluff it through until melted. Stir in the sliced green onion. Serve hot and enjoy!
