Step 1

Cook the rice. Rinse and drain the rice several times, until the water runs significantly clearer. Place the rice in a saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and add 2¼ cups of water. Cover the saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook, covered, for 13 minutes. Turn off the heat but keep the lid closed and let sit for 10 minutes.

When the oil reaches 350°F, add a handful of the onion slices and cook for 30-60 seconds, or until browned and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the crispy onions to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining onions.
