Vegetable oil is a cost-effective alternative for cooking.

In a large pot, add 3 cups of white rice.

Add 6 cups of water (if using long grain rice, otherwise use 3 cups for Minute Rice).

Bring the water to a boil, then cover the pot and turn off the heat.

Fluff the rice once it's finished cooking according to package instructions.

Add about 1/2 tablespoon of garlic salt to the rice.

Add fresh cilantro, reserving some for garnish.

Squeeze the juice of 2 small limes over the rice (the recipe calls for 1 lime, but 2 were used due to their small size).

Mix everything together until well combined.

Taste the rice and adjust seasoning with more salt or garlic salt if desired.

Garnish with reserved fresh cilantro before serving.
