Notes
Adding aromatics is completely optional; that said, you can use whatever herbs and spices you like: black pepper, bay leaf, and cinnamon stick are all good choices. 1 cup of uncooked rice makes 3 cups of cooked rice. A rule of thumb is to make 1/2 cup of rice per person if it is a side and 1 cup of rice per person if it is a main dish.
