Submitted by Chouny

"This great side dish is so versatile, you can serve it with chicken, beef or seafood. This delicious rice is always appreciated by everyone. Tip: I cook my rice like pasta, this way it will not become sticky! fill your pot with salted water, bring to a boil. Pour rice in water, cook until grains becomes tender. Pour in strainer, let rice cool for a few minutes."
