Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Measure out the desired amount of rice using a measuring cup.
- Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water to remove any excess starch.
- In a pot, add the rinsed rice and the appropriate amount of liquid. Typically, the ratio is 1 cup of rice to 1¾ cups of liquid, but check the packaging for specific instructions.
- Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and bring the liquid to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once the liquid reaches a rolling boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer the rice for the recommended cooking time, usually around 15-20 minutes.
- After the cooking time is up, remove the pot from the heat and let the rice sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes to allow for final absorption and fluffing.
