Step 1

Heat the oil in a 4-quart saucepan over medium-high heat.  Add the rice and cook until translucent (somewhat clear) about 3-4 minutes; stirring frequently.

Step 2

Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a rapid boil over high heat.

Step 3

Stir once and cover. Turn the heat down to almost low (a little less than medium low) and cook for 25 minutes.  Remove cover and let stand 2-3 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
