Preparation Steps
1
Rinse the rice thoroughly in cold water until the water runs clear. This helps the grains stay fluffy.
2
Finely chop the onion, garlic, bell pepper, and chili pepper.
3
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4
Add the garlic and peppers, and sauté for another 2 minutes, allowing the heat to infuse the dish.
5
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes to meld the flavors.
6
Add the soy sauce and hot pepper paste, then mix well to combine.
7
Add the rice to the saucepan and pour in the water. Cover and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes.
8
Once the rice is tender, remove from the heat and let it rest, covered, for another 5 minutes.
9
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot.
