Base Ingredients

1 cup washed white rice 2 cups boiling water 1 clove crushed garlic 0.2 chopped onion olive oil as needed salt to taste

Method

Sauté

Heat the olive oil in a pan and sauté the chopped onion and crushed garlic until fragrant.

Add the washed rice to the pan and toast the grains for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly.

Simmer

Pour in the boiling water and season with salt. Reduce the heat to low.

Cook undisturbed until the water has mostly evaporated from the surface.

Rest

Turn off the heat, cover the pot tightly, and let it sit for 20 minutes to finish steaming before serving.

Chef's Notes

For extra fluffy rice, leave the lid slightly ajar during cooking to allow steam to escape, then cover completely once the water has evaporated.
