Many people give great compliments on how good my Mexican pink rice is. So I decided to let out my cooking secrete and tell people how I make my yummy rice. So lets start what you will need to make this delicious recipe in just 30 minutes !
Ingredients
* 1cup of uncooked rice
* 2 cups of water
* 1 can of tomato sauce ( 1 cup)
* 2 teaspoons of chicken bouillon
* 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
* 1 cooking soup pot with lid
* 1 wooden utensil
* 1 teaspoons of freeze dried mince onions ( fresh onion is optional )
* 1 teaspoon of freeze dried mince garlic ( fresh mince garlic optional )
Okay ! ... So lets start by bringing our pot to the stove and adding our vegetable oil in. Turn the stove on and set to medium heat so the oil can heat. Once the oil has heated, add your 1 cup of uncooked rice. Grab your wooden spoon and mix generously into the heated oil. We want the rice to cook a little bit until you see about 10 percent of the rice golden brown.
Once you established that the rice is fried just a little. Your going to add 2 cups of clean fresh water to the pot, mix well. Now, while the water is heating. Pop open your can of tomato sauce and poor into a separate bowl.
Next, your going to add your mince onion,garlic and your chicken bourbon. .... So Why? are we doing this instead of throwing all the ingredients in to the cooking pot. Well, we want to make sure that the chicken bourbon has correctly broken down and dissolved because if we through it in the cooking pot. This might cause someone to over mixing the rice, while trying to see if the chicken bourbon dissolved correctly.
Over mixing rice can cause soggy rice ! Eww ! No bueno !
Once you made sure your tomato sauce has mixed well with the other added ingredients. Your going to next add your sauce to the pot. By then, your water should have heated but not boiled to the point you see bubbles rising. Your going to mix your sauce clock wise or counter clock-wise about 4 times so your sauce has mixed well with the water and rice.
Next your going to cover your pot with your pots lid and let heat for about 5 minutes. After 5 minutes has past your going to stir once more about 4 times again like you did before. Once you've done that, your going to keep the lid on the pot for 20 minutes on medium heat. If your stove has a dial that reaches 6, leave it on 3 or between 2-3. Over heated the pot can cause over cooking of the rice and the water evaporating to quickly before the rice gets a chance to soften.
After 20 minutes has past, check on your rice by softly tapping the surface with your wood spoon to see if it has soften. If you feel your rice needs to be a little softer, keep your lid on so the rice can steam. Be sure to check the side of the pot where the rice is on the edge, so you can see if you havent burned the rice.
If your rice just needs a little for softening but does not need more time on the stove. One trick is to crank up the stoves heat and let the steam rise with the lid on for a couple of seconds. Once steam has appeared. turn off the stove and remove the pot of rice from the stove to the side and let the steam sit inside the closed pot for 10 minutes. This can reassure than your rice has not burned and it can soften your rice perfectly.
Next, your rice should be perfect and ready to eat !
