Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 1/2 cup long grain rice
  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder
  • 8 oz tomato sauce
  • 1 tbsp chicken bouillon powder

Instructions

  1. Rinse the rice a few times to get rid of the excess starch.
  2. Heat the oil in a pot over medium heat. Saute the rice for 5 minutes until lightly toasted.
  3. Add the garlic, salt, cumin and chili powder. Cook for another 5 minutes.
  4. Add the tomato sauce, chicken bouillon powder and 3 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20 minutes .
  5. Uncover and cook until the water is fully evaporated.
  6. Turn the heat off and cover with a lid. Let the rice sit for 10 minutes. Fluff it with a fork and serve as a side dish.

Notes

  • It's best to rinse long rain rice a few times to get rid of the excess starch. 
  • Store leftovers rice in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat in a pan or saucepan with a few tablespoons of water. 
  • You can make this dish with long grain brown rice. However, cooking time will be longer.
