olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is less expensive.

Take out the pork fat and rinse it to remove excess salt.

Pat the pork fat dry with a paper towel on both sides.

Cut the pork fat into slices and then into small pieces, optionally trimming some fat off.

Heat canola oil in a pot over medium heat until hot.

Add the chopped pork fat to the pot and cook on medium-low for 5-7 minutes until crispy, stirring occasionally.

Rinse the rice until the water runs clear and is no longer cloudy.

Add the rinsed rice to the pot with the pork fat and mix everything together.

Add water and sea salt to taste, mixing well to incorporate the salt.

Cover the pot halfway and cook for 15 minutes on medium heat.

After 15 minutes, uncover and stir the rice.

Cover the pot completely, reduce the heat, and cook for another 15-20 minutes.

After the additional cooking time, stir the rice again and reduce the heat to low, covering for an extra 5 minutes.

Uncover and fluff the rice before serving.
