Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups rice
4 cups water
1/4 cup chicken bouillon
1/2 tsp vinegar (optional)
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup green bell peppers or 1/2 cup poblano chile, diced
1/2 cup zucchini ( optional) or 1/2 cup yellow squash, diced (optional)
1/2 cup corn kernel (optional)
1/4 cup cilantro leaf, chopped

Directions:

Sauté rice in frying pan over med high heat for 3 minutes stirring constantly.
Add veggies and continue to sauté until rice begins to brown and veggies soften, stirring very often. 3-5 minutes or so.
Add bouillon and vinegar (if using) to water and stir to dissolve. (The vinegar keeps the grains separated- you can use this tip ANYTIME you cook rice.).
Pour water into pan with rice and veggies and allow to come to a boil.
Toss in cilantro, stir and cover tightly.
Lower heat to simmer and keep covered for 15 minutes exactly. DO NOT lift lid during the 15 minutes- the steam is needed to properly cook the rice.
Uncover and fluff with a fork.
