Luckily my kids like white rice with their meals. It's high in protein and filling. Always the tinkerer I experimented with Fried Rice. This is what I came up with;
Place 2 cups of water in a pot and add 1 beef bouillon cube or your choice. Put the heat on medium high.
In a medium frying pan add two tablespoons of olive oil and 1 cup of rice, not instant rice but regular long grained rice.
Bring the heat to medium and stir the rice until the oil is spread evenly with the rice. You should see translucent grains at this point.
Continue to stir until the rice darkens and some grains turn white like popcorn. Some will pop like that also. Bring the water to a boil and keep stirring the frying rice.
Once the water is ready remove it from the heat. This next part will surprise you so I want to forewarn you that when you dump the rice into the water there will be a violent burst of steam so go easy here.
Once all your rice is into the water, stir completely and return to the heat. When the boiling returns, turn the heat to the lowest setting and cover. Don't remove the cover for 20 minutes. This gives you time to prepare the main meal.
When ready to serve, remove the cover and stir to mix. That's it and this rice has a nice texture and loaded with taste!
Enjoy!
