Note: In this recipe, the rice tends to turn out a bit sticky, which some may not prefer, but I can assure you the flavor is excellent.

In a saucepan, add the 3 cups of water and the bouillon cube. Heat over medium. (The water does not need to be purified; tap water is fine.) To help dissolve the bouillon, break it up in the water with the same utensil you'll use in step 3.

In another saucepan, add a little oil, then add the cup of rice. Heat over medium. Stir the rice constantly with a spoon, ladle, or spatula to prevent sticking.

After a while, the rice will start to turn golden and the bouillon will be fully dissolved in the water.

Once the bouillon water is almost boiling and the rice is lightly golden, carefully pour the bouillon water into the rice and cover the saucepan. NOTE: Be careful when pouring and stand back a bit, as it may splatter.
- 6
Once the rice is covered, let it cook until the water reduces. (No need to keep stirring.) Note: I like to add a 7.5 oz (215 g) can of mixed vegetables, but this is optional. You can add peas, corn, carrots, or leave the rice plain.

When the water has reduced to the level shown in the photo, turn off the heat. The water will continue to absorb.

That's it! The result should look like the main photo of this recipe. Hope you enjoy it. Good luck!
