Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 2
Bring chicken stock to a boil and keep warm.
Step 3
Prepare parchment paper: trace a circle around the rim of the lid of a medium-sized pot, then cut; poke hole in the center.
Step 4
Butter one side.
Step 5
Heat a medium sized pot over a medium flame.
Step 6
Add a 2 tablespoons of the butter.
Step 7

Step 8
Reduce heat to low, and cook for a minute or two, stirring continuously.
Step 9

Step 10
Add rice to the pot and stir.

Add white vinegar and slowly reduce, until almost all of the liquid has evaporated.
Step 12

Step 13
Add chicken stock, and salt according to taste.
Step 14
Turn up the heat to high.

Cook for 2 minutes.
Step 17
Remove pot from heat.
Step 18
Replace the lid with circle of parchment paper butter side down and put pot into oven.

After 15 minutes, taste a kernel of rice to insure that it is cooked through—it should be tender but with a little resistance in the bite.

If needed, cook for another 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 21
Remove pot from oven, and fluff up rice gently with a fork, to insure that it is not too compressed.
