Equipment

  • 1 pot with lid

Ingredients

  • 1 cup white rice
  • 1 ½ cup water
  • 3 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • ¼ tbsp salt or to taste

Instructions

  • Rinse 1 cup white rice. We like to wash our rice until the water runs clear. This gets rid of the starches and makes the rice stickier.
  • Chop 3 cloves garlic.
  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in pan on medium heat. Once oil is hot add chopped garlic.
  • Cook garlic for less than 1 minute making sure it doesn't burn.
  • Add rice and mix it in with the garlic and oil.
  • Add 1 ½ cup water, ¼ tbsp salt and cover.
  • Once water is boiling - set to low heat and do not remove cover for 20 minutes.
  • After 20 minutes remove from heat and serve.
