I used to cook plain white rice in a pot, first frying a little bit with garlic and onion and then add hot water until boil and then slow cook with the pot lid on.

If I had a rice cooker I would use tho

Wait, that sounds wrong.. You fry the uncooked rice first before boiling it with water? I'm getting Uncle Roger war flashbacks...

If you ask anyone from Latin America that's a common way to do it, it's a technique to give you a more loose rice different from asian rice. And we eat a lot of rice too but not as much as the average asian lol and usually it's mixed with beans - I was always been told that they complete each other and form a complete protein between their amino acids

The recipe I use is similar to the Peruvian recipe, with diced garlic.
