Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup rice (white , long grain)
2 cups water
0.75 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
1 tsp chicken bouillon
1 tsp salt
1 tsp minced garlic, fresh or from the jar
oil

Directions:

Coat bottom of pan with oil (app 1 tablespoon corn oil) on med to med/high heat. Add rice and stir until coated with oil. Continue stirring until rice becomes solid white in color. Depending on your pan, you may need to add a tad bit more oil.
Once rice is white in color, quickly add water, tomato sauce, bullion, salt, and garlic. Stir and cover. Lower to medium to medium/low heat for approximately 20 minutes.
DO NOT PEEK! DO NOT STIR!
Fluff rice. Each grain should appear split down the middle and be a light pink/orange color.
Enjoy!
Note: it you over stir it will be mushy, if you peek it will not split down the middle. And in the last step, if you have a film of tomato sauce on top, don't worry. When you fluff it will be fine.
