Step-by-Step Preparation
Rinsing and Soaking the Rice
Begin the preparation by rinsing the basmati rice under cold water. This step is vital as it removes excess starch, resulting in fluffier rice. After rinsing, soak the rice in water for about 30 minutes. This soaking period enhances the texture of the rice, allowing it to absorb water more effectively during cooking.
Cooking the Rice
Once the rice has soaked, it’s time to move on to the cooking phase. Heat a wok or pot over medium heat and add a splash of vegetable oil. After the oil is hot, drain the soaked rice and cautiously add it to the pot. Stir the rice for about two minutes to toast it slightly and to infuse it with the oil's richness.

Next, pour in three cups of water, which will be the liquid base for our rice. Here comes the fun part: mix in the spices! Add in the paprika, turmeric, black pepper, and salt. The turmeric is crucial as it gives the rice its signature yellow color, while paprika and black pepper contribute to the dish's overall flavor. Don’t forget to include the Sazon seasoning for that extra kick.
Adding the Bell Peppers
To elevate the dish with fresh flavors and colors, incorporate the bell peppers. Using a mix of small bell peppers or a single large pepper, cut them into large chunks and add them to the pot. The combination of spices and vibrant bell peppers will make the rice not only delicious but visually appealing as well.
Simmer to Perfection

Cover the pot and allow it to cook over medium heat until most of the water has evaporated. This initial boiling phase is crucial for cooking the rice evenly. Afterward, lower the heat and let the rice simmer for an additional 20 minutes. This gentler cooking process ensures the rice becomes fluffy and fully cooked without becoming mushy.
