Equipment
- 9 x 13 Casserole Dish
Ingredients
- 2 cups white rice not instant or minute rice "15 min to cook rice"
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup soy sauce can use less if preferred, based on taste.6
- 1 envelope dry onion soup mix
- 4 cups water
- Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by setting your oven to 375°F (190°C), ensuring it's ready for baking.
- Combine Ingredients: In a 9x13 inch baking dish, combine the white rice, vegetable oil, soy sauce, dry onion soup mix, and water. Stir the mixture well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Initial Baking: Place your dish in the oven, uncovered, and bake for about 30 minutes. At this point, it's a good idea to check the rice. If you notice that the liquid has been fully absorbed, the rice is ready and can be taken out of the oven.For a Crispy Top Layer: If you prefer your rice with a crispy top, continue baking for up to 45 minutes in total. This extended baking time encourages a deliciously crispy layer to form on top, while the rice beneath remains soft and fluffy.Before Serving: Should you opt for the crispy top, once baking is complete, take a moment to mix and fluff the rice. This helps to evenly distribute the crispy bits throughout the rice, ensuring each bite is a perfect blend of textures.
- Garnish and Serve: Once removed from the oven, let the dish cool slightly and fluff rice. Before serving, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
