Leave a comment

White rice is a staple food for many nations. There are so many wonderful ways of cooking it that none can be termed the best. Many other ingredients can be added to it to make a complete dish.

In this recipe, the only ingredients needed are rice, cooking oil and one onion.

Method:

  1. Put oil in a sauce pan and saute the onions until browned.
  2. Pour in enough water to cook the rice without draining and bring to a boil.
  3. Add the washed rice and add salt to taste.
  4. Cook the rice until done and dry.
  5. Serve.

The good thing I love this recipe is that I can devour it as a complete dish without any soup, stew or vegetables. I find it delicious as it is.
