Rice - Dinner

Rice was one of things that I could not master when I came to Egypt. I tried using the Egyptian rice and it always turned out to be like mashed potatoes. Then I tried Jasmine rice, it's okay but not something I can use often. I fell in love with Basmati rice, but not the price. Recently, I started using Thai Long Grain rice and I absolutely love it. Here's the recipe.

Ingredients:

2 cups rice
1/2 cup chopped onions
2 Maggi cubes(vegetable) (buillon cubes)
1/4 tsp salt
dash or 2 of black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
4 cups water
1 tbsp corn oil

Ingredients

Heat oil in pan over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook
until yellow. Add dry rice. Chop cubes into small pieces and
stir it in with the rice and onions, add the salt, pepper and
garlic. Stir.

Add water, cover and boil until rice is tender.


Serve with Oriental Sausage and Kidney beans

  2. Wow! Those are easy for me alhamdulillah. Do you fry the rice in a little oil first? I think that helps.
