Put the water to boil in a tea kettle.

In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium high heat.
Step 3
Add the onion and garlic and sauté until translucent. (Be careful not to burn it!)

Step 5
Add the boiling water and the salt, cover and lower the heat to the lowest setting.
Step 6
Cook for 20 minutes or until there's no more water in the bottom. (You will see some holes forming in the surface and you won't hear any more water!)
Step 7
Turn the heat off and lift the cover slightly.
Step 8
Let the rice sit untouched for 5 more minutes.
Step 9
Fluff the rice with a fork and serve.
