Categories     Short Grain Rice

Time 1h

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 cups short-grain rice, Calrose rice is preferred
5 1/2 cups water
4 tablespoons vegetable oil or 4 tablespoons bacon grease
1 (1/3 ounce) package achiote powder, I use Mama Cita's brand, can be found at any Asian market
2 (1 1/2 ounce) packages sazon goya with coriander and annatto
1 (1 1/2 ounce) package Goya ham seasoning
1/4-1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt, may need more according to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon Accent seasoning

Steps:

  • In a bowl, wash the rice until the water runs clear. Transfer to a rice cooker pot that's at least a 10 cup cooker. In a separate bowl; combine the rest of ingredients. Making sure to combine the seasonings until dissolved and the achiote powder is well mixed. Taste a bit and adjust the salt and seasonings according to your taste preference.
  • Pour over the rice in the cooker and stir well to combine. Press button to cook; halfway through cooking time, stir to combine the ingredients thoroughly. Let cooking time finish. Let sit a few minutes before enjoying.
  • This can also be cooked on the stovetop. Bring the rice to a full boil, stir, cover with a lid and lower heat to about med-low. Continue cooking for about 20-30 minutes. Make sure to keep an eye on it as not to burn. That's why I prefer the rice cooker.
  • Enjoy with chamorro barbeque and finadene.

CHAMORRO RED RICE

You can't have a party on Guam without it! A crucial recipe for every Chamorro girl. My uncles used to tease me and say that you couldn't get married unless you learned to make it. Red rice made over the stove and not in an electric cooker always seems to work better for me. I hate the way the electric cooker sometimes burns...

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 Tbsp achote seeds
1/2 c chopped onions
1/2 tsp salt
4 c water
2 Tbsp cooking oil
2 c rinsed calrose rice

Steps:

  • 1. Soak achote in 2 cups of warm water for about 30 minutes.
  • 2. Add salt to the achote and water, rubbing the achote seeds against each other until the water becomes a dark orangey red (the darker the better). Strain the liquid out into a little bowl. This stuff will stain your hands, clothes, and possibly your cooking materials.
  • 3. In a small pot, boil the achote water and add in the rinsed calrose rice with two cups of water.
  • 4. Add salt, oil, and onions.
  • 5. Reduce the heat to medium-high for about five minutes (or until the liquid has evaporated). Pay attention! Don't let the achote burn on the bottom of the pan. People often burn their red rice because they aren't watching the heat. Be patient. :)
  • 6. Cover and reduce the heat to low for about 15 to 20 minutes (or until the rice is fully cooked).
