1       Soak the rice overnight

2       Put in the rice with 2 cups water. Save the ¼ cup for later.

3       Bring the rice to boil then turn the heat to low and slow cook the rice.

4       Once the rice is soft and ready. Drain the water, if there is any, and turn off heat.

5       Dump the nutritional yeast, onions, dry ingredients, and oil into the pot. Mix until the rice and onions are coated with the nutritional yeast and seasonings.
