Notes
- Rinse the rice well until the water is mostly clear. This removes the excess starch.
- Do not brown the garlic. Saute the garlic just until fragrant.
- Make sure you cook over medium heat. High heat can make the liquid evaporate quickly before the rice is fully cooked.
- Use a fork to mix the cheese with the rice. It helps separate the grains and gently distributes the cheese without breaking the rice.
