Get a pan on medium heat.

Add a little bit of oil to the pan.

Remember the ratio: one part rice to two parts liquid.

Measure out your rice; for example, if you use one cup of rice, you need two cups of liquid.

Pour the rice into the pan with the oil.

Stir the rice to toast it.

Prepare the liquid (water) while the rice is toasting.

Once the rice is toasted, pour in the water.

Add chicken bouillon to the water and stir.

Let the liquid cook out completely.

Once the liquid is cooked out, turn off the heat.

Put a lid on the pan and let it sit for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, fluff the rice with a fork.
