Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 splash olive oil

  • 1 cup rice

  • ¼ cup chopped onion

  • 1 clove garlic, chopped

  • 1 cup vegetable broth

  • 1 ½ cups water

  • 1 head romaine lettuce leaves

  • 1 dash soy sauce, or to taste (Optional)

  • 1 splash lime juice, or to taste (Optional)

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir rice in hot oil until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes; add onions and garlic and cook until the onion is softened, 5 to 7 minutes more.

  2. Pour vegetable broth and water into the saucepan; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, place a cover on the saucepan, and cook rice at a simmer until tender and the liquid is absorbed, 10 to 15 minutes. Fluff rice and cook 1 to 2 minutes more.

  3. Scoop rice mixture into lettuce leaves. Season with soy sauce or lime juice, as desired.
