Instructions

In a medium sauce pan, heat up the oil
Add the garlic and cook until fragrant and light gold
Add the rice, season with the salt and stir for about a minute
Add the liquid and bring to a gentle boil
Reduce to a simmer, cover and let it simmer until all water has been absorbed (try not to peak – we don’t want to lose steam that’s precious for the next step!)
Turn off the heat and let the rice pot sit covered for another 10 mins – steam
Open the pot, then "air" the rice for a minute or two. Then, fluff with a fork, and serve!

Bom Apetite!
