Mexican Rice

The jalapeño chillies give a lovely smoky but subtle spicy flavour and cooking it in your Kotori makes it
even easier! A great side dish which is vegetarian and vegan – best of all your leftovers can be used the next day to make ‘Mexican fried rice’, just fry in the same way you would normal cold rice and it’s a delicious twist to a lunchtime staple.

 1 rice measuring cup long grain white rice
 1 clove garlic (crushed)
 1 tbsp red onion (thinly sliced)
