Tips:
- Ensure that you do not burn the garlic by cooking it on low heat. Burnt garlic can impart a bitter taste to the rice.
- You can add additional herbs like parsley or cilantro for extra flavor and color.
- For a healthier alternative, you can use brown rice instead of white rice. Just note that brown rice requires a longer cooking time and may need more water.
- Feel free to add vegetables or proteins, such as peas or chicken, to make it a more complete meal.
- Let the cooked rice sit for a few minutes before fluffing it with a fork. This helps to achieve a better texture.
