Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add 2 tablespoons of salted butter and let it melt until bubbly.
  2. Stir in 4 cloves of minced garlic and ¼ cup of finely diced white onion. Sauté for about 30 seconds until the garlic is fragrant and the onion turns translucent.
  3. Add 1½ cups of medium grain rice to the skillet, stirring frequently for about 5 minutes until the grains become slightly golden.
  4. Mix in 10 ounces of frozen corn, followed by 3 cups of boiling water and 1 tablespoon of chicken bouillon. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  5. Increase the heat to bring mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and cover the skillet. Allow to simmer for 15 minutes.
  6. Turn off heat, keeping the skillet covered for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff the Buttered Corn Rice with a fork before serving.
