Ingredients
1 cup rice (non-enriched, Basmati rice is the best)2 tbsp canola oil1 tsp salt1/2 tsp. garlic powder2 1/4 cups of water
Rinse the rice in a sieve. Put it in a saucepan that holds at least four cups. Turn the heat to medium high and add the canola oil, salt, and garlic powder. Stir and sautee the rice just until it starts sticking to the bottom of the pan, or until some of the grains turn more of an opaque white. Pour the water into the pan and stir it once or twice to loosen any rice that may be stuck to the sides. Reduce heat to medium and put a lid on, leaving it slightly cracked. After 20 minutes, turn off the heat and put the lid on completely. Transfer to a bowl right before serving.
Makes about four 3/4 cup servings.
