   Add rice.

5. 5

   Stir in and saute a little more, just until rice starts to get opaque.

    Add half the tomato can or so of water, and stir.

11. 11

    Cover and cook for 15 minutes.

12. 12

    Remove lid and stir again.

13. 13

    Add 1/3 to 1/2 can more water, as necessary.

    Make sure you stir thoroughly so that none burns to the sides.
