Step-by-step

• In a non-stick pan, put the oil and the onion to sweat.
• When the onion starts to caramelize, add the rice, water, and salt. Stir once well.
• Use minimum flame, cover the rice, and let it cook for exactly 20 minutes. Do not open the cover at all.
• When time is up, use a fork to fluff the rice.
