Ingredients

  • 2 cups white rice
  • 1 piece onion
  • vegetable oil
  • 1 garlic clove
  • a pinch of salt
  • 3 cups of water

Instructions

  • Check to see if there are any impurities in the rice. Then, gently rinse.
  • Preheat vegetable oil in a skillet and quickly add an onion clove. Only enough to fry it; if you overestimate the amount, drain or retire with a tablespoon after it's fried.
  • Immediately after, add the rice, toss in a piece of onion, and stir fry until it is perfectly dried.
  • Add 2 cups of water, followed by a pinch of salt.
  • Allow them to boil and check on them occasionally. To test if the rice is done, take out 1 grain of rice with a teaspoon and taste it to see if it is soft. If not, proceed with the remaining 1 cup of water.
  • To avoid soggy rice, try not to add more water unless the rice is almost dry but the grains are still hard.
  • Seve and enjoy!
