COLUMBIA RESTAURANT GOOD RICE
This rice goes with everything and has much more flavor than plain white rice. The recipe comes from the famed Columbia Restaurant which started in Ybor City, FL and now has locations throughout Florida. Easy to make and very flavorful; I especially like the texture...not sticky, not greasy, just right.

Steps:
- Trim off any fat or bone from pork chops. Cut pork into long, slender strips about 1/2 inch wide or less. Place pork strips in a shallow dish in one single layer and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine diced onion, sugar, Accent, salt, pepper, garlic, and soy sauce. Pour this mixture over the pork strips, cover, and put in refrigerator to marinate for 30 minutes.
- Add about 1/2 cup peanut oil to a large frying pan and heat oil over medium-high heat. Place the pork strips and all of the marinade into the pan, reduce heat to medium. As the marinade/onion begins to thicken around the pork, you may add water to dilute this sauce.
- Simmer the pork slowly, covered, over low-medium heat until pork is tender, about 45 minutes to an hour. (A great time to go to the next step!).
- Cut the bell peppers into long thin strips, removing and discarding all seeds.
- In a large frying pan or wok, coat the bottom of the pan with about 1/4 cup of the peanut oil. Heat oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the frozen vegetables and begin cooking over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Add the bell pepper strips to the stir fry vegetables, cooking to desired tenderness in wok or frying pan. (I cooked mine for about 30 minutes, and it rendered veggies tender, not too soft.).
- Cook rice according to package directions, drain and rinse, then set aside.
- Serve the pork and vegetables over the rice and hope you enjoy it as we did! Easily serves 6 or more. 30 minutes of the cooking time is for marinating in frig.

Tips for Cooking Perfect Rice:
- Use the right type of rice: Different types of rice have different cooking times and textures. For example, basmati rice is a long-grain rice that cooks up fluffy and separate, while arborio rice is a short-grain rice that cooks up creamy and sticky.
- Rinse the rice before cooking: Rinsing the rice removes excess starch, which can help prevent the rice from sticking together.
- Use the proper rice-to-water ratio: The amount of water you use to cook rice will depend on the type of rice you are using. In general, a good rule of thumb is to use 1 1/2 cups of water for every cup of rice.
- Bring the water to a boil before adding the rice: This will help to ensure that the rice cooks evenly.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer the rice until it is tender: The amount of time it takes to cook rice will depend on the type of rice you are using. In general, most types of rice will take about 15-20 minutes to cook.
- Fluff the rice with a fork before serving: This will help to separate the grains of rice and make it light and fluffy.
Conclusion:
Cooking perfect rice is a simple task once you know the basics. By following the tips above, you can cook rice that is fluffy, separate, and delicious. With a little practice, you'll be able to cook perfect rice every time.
