How do you cook Turkish rice?
First, put the rice with 1 teaspoon of salt in a small bowl and pour boiling water over it so that the rice is covered with about two thumbs' width of water. Now let the rice sit for at least 30 minutes. You can also let it steep for longer, i.e. about 2 hours. This is done to extract excess starch from the rice.

Then rinse the rice with plenty of cold water so that the washing water is clear and let it drain. Set the rice aside.

Pour the oil and rice noodles into a Teflon-coated pan with high sides or a Teflon-coated pot and fry until golden brown. Now add the washed and drained rice. Roast this for about 3 - 4 minutes. The rice is now starting to smell nice.

Turn down the temperature and add the warm water, 1.5 teaspoons of salt and the butter and stir once. Cover with a lid and let the rice sit until all the water has been absorbed by the rice.

Do not stir the rice until it is fully cooked.
