5 tablespoons of vegetable oil
1¼ teaspoon of salt
6 cups water
4 cups of rice
Preparation
Heat up half the oil over medium heat and all the salt in a 1.5 qrt (approx) cast iron or aluminum pot (Amazon affiliate link).
Add the water, being careful with splatters.
Rinse the rice in running water, drain well (optional, I don’t do it).
Bring to a boil and then add the rice, stirring regularly to avoid excessive sticking.
When all the water has evaporated cover with a tight fitting lid and simmer over very low heat.
Wait 15 minutes and remove lid, add the remaining oil, stir and cover again.
In 5 minutes uncover and taste, the rice should be firm but tender inside.
If necessary, cover and simmer for another 5 minutes over very low heat.
Serve with meat, (or seafood) a side dish and beans.
