For an extra layer of flavor, toast the rice in a dry skillet before adding the oil. Adjust the amount of water depending on your desired rice consistency. Feel free to add other vegetables such as peas or corn for added color and nutrients. For a vegetarian version, substitute vegetable bouillon for chicken bouillon.
