Garlic Rice

Ingredients

• Olive oil

  Salad or cooking

  1 tbsp or 14g

• Garlic

  Raw

  3 cloves, minced or 9g

• White rice

  Long-grain, regular, raw, enriched

  ½ cup or 93g

• Water

  Plain, clean water

  1 ½ cup or 355g

• Salt

  Table

  1 dash or 0.4g

Directions

1. Heat the oil in a medium size saucepan over a medium-high heat. Drop in the garlic, and cook until it becomes fragrant, about 30 seconds. Do not allow the garlic to burn or become really dark brown in color. Add the rice and fry it in the oil for about 1 minute.
2. Add the water and salt and bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Cook the rice for approximately 15 minutes. If you feel the rice is getting burnt near the base of the pan as it cooks, one trick is to place the saucepan on another flat pan or griddle which is directly on the flame. Toss with a fork. Enjoy!
