Wash your rice to remove any dirt.
In a caldero with a lid add your water, oil and salt. Set to high heat and bring to a boil.
Once your water is boiling add your rice, stir and put on the lid. Cook the rice for 10 minutes or until there is no liquid left around the rice.
After the water has evaporated fluff your rice. Lower the heat to medium and cook for 15 minutes. Turn off heat , serve and enjoy.

Make sure you use the correct size pan for the amount of rice you're making. Remember that rice doubles in size.
Don't lift your lid while cooking your rice. The steam inside is very important to guarantee the rice fully cooks.
Very important that you do not leave your rice for too long after all the water evaporates because it will have an (ajumao taste) smoky flavor. Trust me, not the good kind. It will make it taste bad.
If you find your rice is hard you can fix it by adding 2 tablespoons of water at a time and leaving it over medium heat for 4 more minutes.
