Flavor and Vegetables

First Step: Bouillon Cube and Vegetables

The first step is just getting everything ready. Chop up the bell pepper and onion. If you are worried that you don't have enough the bell pepper should fill a half cup and the onion should be a rounded cup.

Next dissolve the beef bouillon cube in 1 1/2 cups warm water. (don't boil the water just zap it in the microwave.)

Now in the sauce pan:

Heat  1/4 Cup Vegetable Oil

then add and sauté 1 Cup White Rice

Continually stir this until the rice begins to slightly turn tan. Then immediately move on to the second step.

Place a lid on your rice and allow it to sit and simmer for 35  to 40 minutes. (Set your oven on low). The rice should not have any crunch, or hardness to it. If it does try cooking it a little longer.
