Boil 5 cups of water in a pot.

Add 2 cups of rice and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the boiling water.

Stir the rice and cover the pot, cooking on medium heat.

Partially cover the pot to prevent water from spilling as it cooks.

Once the water is almost at the same level as the rice, cover and let it simmer on low heat until cooked.

Check if the rice is fully cooked; there should be some water remaining and the rice should stick to the wooden spoon.

Add 3 tablespoons of peanut butter to the rice and mix well until fully combined.

If the rice is too dry, add a little bit of water and simmer for a few minutes before mixing in the peanut butter.

Cover and let it simmer on low heat for about 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
