For enough rice to serve 4 people, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 2 to 3 cloves garlic
  • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup rice

    Tip: 2 cloves of garlic give a subtle garlic flavor, while 3 cloves add a more pronounced (but delicious) garlic taste.
