For an extra layer of flavor, try sautéing a finely diced onion and a clove of garlic in the oil before adding the rice.
Adjust the amount of tomato bouillon to your liking. Start with less and add more to taste.
Rinsing the rice before cooking removes excess starch, preventing it from becoming sticky.
Be sure to use a tight-fitting lid for optimal steaming.
