Add 1 cup of white rice to a pot add 2 cups of water to the rice. And add all the ingredients above together. Cook on high until you see the water starts to evaporate below the rice then you want to stir the rice and put on low and put the lid to cover it up so it can simmer and finish cooking. Remember to stir occasionally. Takes about 45 to an hour to cook depending on what brand of rice you use. Preferably me I use uncle bens rice.
