Ingredients
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3/4 cup uncooked jasmine or basmati rice
- 1 1/2 cup water
Instructions
-
In a medium pot that has a tight-fitting lid, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. (Note: do not use the lid yet, this will come later on.)
-
Add garlic, salt, and pepper and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Once boiling cover the pot with lid and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 12-14 minutes or until the water had been absorbed and the ride is tender. (Note: do not lift the lid before 12 minutes or stir the rice at any time)
