How to Make Haitian White Rice

long-grain rice

🥗Healthier: brown rice

💰Cheaper: short-grain rice

Brown rice adds fiber and nutrients, while short-grain rice is often less expensive.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil is a healthier fat option, while canola is often cheaper.

Heat oil in an aluminum pot over medium-high heat (about 2-3 tablespoons).

Add a little salt to taste.

Add the 'epice' (seasoning mix) to the oil and sauté, being careful not to burn it.

Rinse 1 cup of rice and add it to the pot.

Add about 1.25 cups of water to the pot.

Bring the water to a boil.

Once boiling, cover the pot and reduce the heat to medium-low.

Let the rice cook for about 10-15 minutes until the water is mostly absorbed.

If the rice is undercooked, add a quarter cup of water, sprinkle some salt, cover, and let it sit for another 5 minutes.
