Notes
- We like jasmine rice, which is a 1:1 ½ ratio of rice to water. However, you can use any long grain rice; follow package instructions for rice to water ratio.
- You can use vegetable, chicken, or beef broth instead of rice. If you do this, skip the added salt.
- Check out our favorite Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes to serve this rice with.
