Makes 3 Servings, 1/2 Cup, each

Ingredients:

- 1/2 cup Long-grain Enriched White Rice

- 1 tbsp Chicken-Flavored Bouillon (Knorr Caldo Con Sabor De Pollo or any brand)

- 1/4 tsp pepper

- 1-3/4 cup Hot Water

Kitchenware:

- Rice Cooker or Small Pot
- Rice Paddle, Wooden Spoon or Spatula
- Measuring Cups
- Measuring Spoons

Preparation:

- Add all ingredients to rice cooker, mix and allow to cook for 15 minutes.  If you have a rice cooker it will cook and turn off on it's own.  But check to make sure it doesn't scorch at the end of the cooking time.
- If cooking rice in a small pot, bring water to a boil, reduce to low, cover and let steam for 15 minutes.
- After cooking is done, fluff the rice by using a plastic rice paddle or wooden spoon.

Tips: 

- You can fluff your rice with a fork, but transfer to a stainless steel bowl or glassware, you don't want to scratch your pots or steamer.
- For quick cooling time, spread rice on a metal sheet pan and allow to cool.

Uses:

-As a side dish or in casseroles
