Spanish Rice

Directions

1. 1
   In a nonstick saucepan, fry rice in about 2 to 3 tablespoons oil.
2. 2
   (Should be just enough so you see the shine on all the rice kernels but not enough that the rice is sitting in a puddle.) Cook over low heat; stir continually until rice becomes light golden brown.
3. 3
   Remove pan from heat.
4. 4
   Let cool a bit.
5. 5
   Add 2 cups of water and put back on low heat.
6. 6
   Add in veggies and onion and a dash of garlic powder (optional).
7. 7
   To this add about 2 or 3 tablespoons of chicken/tomato bouillon flavor and stir.
8. 8
   (If you don't have the tomato/chicken you can get by with just chicken flavor and then add a splash of ketchup.
9. 9
   This is to add flavor but also to give it the pinkish/red color.)
