Garlic Toasted Rice
How to make rice that’s so good, you’ll want to taste it straight from the pot. I have been cooking rice like this for….a long time. I don’t remember a different way of preparing rice. Actually, I didn’t know there was a different way to prepare rice, unless you were tossing a Trader Joe’s bag…
