Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of white rice, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Gravy

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  3. 3

    Add Broth and Seasonings

    Pour in the 2 cups of beef or chicken broth, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Thicken the Gravy

    In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry. Gradually stir this mixture into the simmering gravy until it thickens. Season with black pepper and salt to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the cooked rice on plates and generously ladle the gravy over the top. Enjoy your rice and gravy!
