As brazilian, I have to agree: "This is the best white rice recipe ever!". I also learned from my mom when I was 8 and have been doing it for 42 years now. My american husband loves it! The traditional brazilian white rice only uses oil, garlic, sal, water and rice, of course. But it's ok to add a couple of your favorite spices, like onions. It is a matter of taste. Nandabear is right: For brazilians, the idea of sticky-gooey rice is simply repulsive!
