Mexican white rice is a traditional side dish that in Mexico we eat it like a every day meal. It goes with everything.

Once you’ve got the technique down, it’s also really easy to get right

I’m going to share with you my go-to method for cooking white rice that’s fluffy, tender, and delicious every time to make it.

RULES

• rinse your rice
• rule 1:2. 1 cup of rice 2 of water.
• bring water to a boil
• get a steady simmer
• put the lid on
• leave it alone
• enjoy

There are 2 ways of doing the Mexican white rice the traditional one and the “healthy” one The traditional one is using chicken bouillon only to season it. I add around a tablespoon or so to a 1.5 cup of rice, That is how much I make for my family of 6, and usually we always have a little bit of leftovers.

And the second way is that instead of using chicken bouillon we add diced onion with the butter and 1 minced garlic add the rice and we add salt 1 bay leave and cook it.

I have to say that both are pretty good.

Give both ways a try and see which one you like the most.
