Cooking Steps
Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Add the rice to the pan and cook, stirring constantly, until it turns golden brown, which takes about 5 minutes.
While the rice cooks, combine bouillon and water in a microwave-safe container and heat for 3 minutes.
Once the rice is golden, pour in the bouillon mixture, tomato sauce, salt, minced garlic, ground cumin, and garlic pepper.
Stir everything well, then cover the pan and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all liquid is absorbed. Fluff the rice before serving and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
