Petunjuk

Wash rice. Thoroughly wash and drain the rice with a fine mesh sieve.

Cook veggies. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions, garlic, bell pepper, and jalapeno and saute for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the onions become translucent.

Add the rice and saute until it's lightly toasted and golden brown, about 2 minutes.

Simmer. Add in the cumin, salt, tomato sauce and chicken broth, then stir everything together. Bring the mixture to a boil, cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer until rice is cooked all the way through, about 15 minutes.

Fluff and garnish. Remove the rice from the heat and use a fork to fluff it up. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve immediately.
