Main Ingredients
Seasonings
Method
Cooking Rice
Rinse the Rice
Place the rice in a sieve or fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch.
Boil Water
In a medium saucepan, add 2 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
Add Rice
Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed rice to the pot. Stir once to prevent sticking.
Simmer
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let it simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
Seasoning the Rice
Add Olive Oil
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the cooked rice.
Season with Spices
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of black pepper over the rice.
Garnish
Chop fresh cilantro and sprinkle it over the seasoned rice to taste.
