How to Make Brazilian Rice (Perfectly Fluffy & Garlicky)

Brazilian rice, or arroz branco in Portuguese, isn't just a side dish. It's the backbone of Brazilian cuisine and the heart of so many of our meals. We serve it with everything: beans and stews, stroganoff, or even just a simple fried egg on top. So what makes it different from regular steamed rice? It's all about the garlic. Brazilian rice is sautéed with garlic before the water goes in, and that's what gives it that delicious garlicky flavor. If you want to bring the true taste of Brazil into your home, it starts right here with this pot of rice.
