250g rice, 2.5L of water, let it boil without lid on pot for 20 minutes, then turn off heat and put lid on top and let it steam for 30 minutes - so simple and delicious

In Brazil we have a dish called "Canja de Galinha" which is chicken boiled with rice. Galinha means chicken but the word Canja clearly comes from the Asian language since it doesn't mean anything in Portuguese. We also have a big Asian population there, they probably influenced the dish and the word/dish Canja, since rice is their primary food as well! We like to eat it when we are sick, not for breakfast.
