For an extra layer of flavor, try toasting the rice in a dry pan for a few minutes before adding the oil. This will enhance its nutty taste and create a more complex flavor profile. Feel free to customize this recipe with your favorite vegetables! Diced bell peppers, corn kernels, or peas would be delicious additions. If you prefer a spicier rice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a finely chopped jalapeño to the saucepan along with the onion.
