Instructions
- Add the rice to a colander and rinse under cold water and set aside to drain.
- Add the oil to a medium size pot over low heat and cook the onions for 5 to 6 minutes while occasionally stirring, or until they become translucent and tender.
- Stir in the garlic just until fragrant, which takes about 1 minute.
- Pour in the drained rice and stir constantly making sure it does not stick for 3 to 4 minutes or until it starts to become slightly transparent.
- Pour in the chicken stock and add in the carrot, corn, and peas and mix until combined.
- Place a lid on the pot and cook over low heat for 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked and all the liquid has been absorbed.
- Season with the lime juice, cilantro, and salt and use a fork to mix in the ingredients and fluff the rice. Serve.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: This is meant to be served when it is done cooking, but you can keep a lid on it and keep it warm for up to 30 minutes before serving.
- How to Store: Cover and keep it in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days. You can freeze this Mexican white rice for up to 3 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator before reheating.
- How to Reheat: Add the desired amount of rice to a medium-size frying pan along with 2 to 3 tablespoons of chicken stock or water and cook over low to medium heat while occasionally stirring until hot.
- The optional additions to this recipe are the lime juice and cilantro, but they both add great flavors to this.
