I was 13 and she showed me the basics: how to make meatballs in tomato sauce<\/a>, fried plantains<\/a>, tuna salad, and white rice! Did she know I was going to end being a cook? I don’t think so, but her teachings have been with me for more than four decades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rice one, must have been a very well taught culinary lesson because I have been making white rice since forever with the same amazing result: delicious fluffy loose white rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My mom used to flavor her rice with a stripe of red bell pepper, a wedge of white onion and garlic powder, all saut\u00e9ed in vegetable oil. Through the times, I\u2019ve substituted all those flavoring agents by fresh garlic that I saut\u00e9 in olive oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to make the perfect loose white rice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Besides the garlic thing, my technique is the one I inherited from my mom and it’s the same I\u2019m passing to my children. That technique can be summarized as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Use Canilla rice and rinse it up and then strain it before cooking it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Saut\u00e9 the rice before adding the water: that will help to prevent rice clusters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Keep the 1:2 ratio, which means that for every part of rice, you will use two parts of water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Always use boiling water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. To check if the rice is done, use a fork.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Once the rice is done, let it rest covered for 5 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
