🧂 Ingredients

1 Rinse rise in a strainer until water runs clear. If able to prep ahead, leave to
air dry overnight. Otherwise, set aside.
2 In a medium sauce pan add water and bouillon or chicken broth and place over
medium heat. Bring to simmer or slow boil and turn heat off.
3 While broth simmers, place large pan over medium heat and add oil and onions.
Once oil is hot and onions are fragrant add rice. Cook until rice is slightly
golden being careful to not brown too much.
4 Bring heat down to medium low and add tomato sauce and broth to rice. Add in
sazon if using. Carefully stir only to combine everything. Cover with lid and
cook for 15 minutes.
5 After 15 minutes check to see if all water is absorbed. If not, leave on for
another 2 minutes and check again. Once all water is absorbed remove from heat
and fluff rice with fork.
