    In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium heat until it fully melts and becomes bubbly.

    Stir in the long-grain white rice and cook, stirring frequently, for about 2 minutes, or until the rice turns a light golden color.

    Pour in the water and chicken bouillon paste, stirring until the bouillon dissolves completely.
