mexican rice in a rice cooker

Tonight I made some Mexican rice in my rice cooker because doing it traditionally is too much trouble for a Chiner like myself.


Ingredients:

• rice
• other stuff

This is actually pretty easy. I put in about 2 cups of rice (wash it if you want, unless you're white cuz apparently white people don't care if they have dirty rice) with some chicken broth. I poured in a whole can, but you can probably substitute that with chicken bullion cubes or something. Just make sure its enough liquid to cover the rice just as if you're making regular white rice. After that, pour in another cup of water just to make sure.

I put about 1 big spoon full of tomato paste and diced up some onions in there. Just do what you think looks good. If you like onions a lot, put in some more. Also I put in some garlic, just a 1/2 spoonful (I should have done more) of minced garlic. Press the button and let it cook.

Mine came out a little bland, but that's why you have salt. Just throw some in if you think its not salty enough and boom, Mexican rice is done. Too easy.
