Notes

Sub for tomato bouillon:
  • Blend 2 tomatoes, boullion cube, garlic clove, and 1 ¼ cup water, onion. 
Or you can add a can of tomatoes, or half a can of tomato sauce. Still add bouillon, garlic and onion. 
*If you are making a larger batch of rice, or smaller here are a few notes.
  • I do 1 ½ TBS tomato bouillon for every 1 cup rice.
  • 1 TBS oil for 1 cup rice
  • and 1 ½ cups water to every 1 cup rice.
