Golden Onion Butter Rice is a tasty dish that combines the sweet flavor of caramelized onions with the comforting texture of buttery rice. This savory side dish goes great with a variety of main courses, making it a perfect choice for family dinners, holiday feasts, or any cozy meal at home.
Melt 30g of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Toss in the sliced onion and cook until golden and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.
In a pot, combine 200g of rice and 500ml of water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook: 18 minutes for white rice or 45 minutes for brown rice.
Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork, stir in the caramelized onions, and add an additional tablespoon of butter for creaminess. Season with salt to taste.
Notes
Tip: Always rinse your rice before cooking to reduce starch and prevent it from being gummy. Letting the rice rest for 5 minutes afterward improves the fluffiness.
