Mix the rice, white wine, salt, and chopped onion together. 2. Cook the mixture for half an hour in 1 gallon of water. ### Notes: My recipe has been passed on from generation to generation in my family. My grandmother used to cook it for all my family on Sundays. Note: 1 gallon of water is a very large amount for 1 cup of rice; this will result in a very soupy consistency or requires significant reduction. **Serving info:** Total recipe: 3000g / 3000ml · Yields 4 portions · Portion size: 750g / 750ml | Nutrient | Per 100g | Per Portion | % Daily Value | |---|---|---|---| | Energy (kcal) | 33 | 252 | 13% | | Carbohydrates (g) | 5.5 | 41.7 | 15% | | ↳ of which sugars (g) | 0.3 | 2.5 | 5% | | Dietary fiber (g) | 0.1 | 1.1 | 4% | | Protein (g) | 0.4 | 3.6 | 7% | | Total fat (g) | 0 | 0.3 | 0% | | ↳ Saturated (g) | 0 | 0.1 | 1% | | ↳ Monounsaturated (g) | 0 | 0.1 | - | | ↳ Polyunsaturated (g) | 0 | 0.1 | - | | ↳ Trans (g) | 0 | 0 | - | | Sodium (mg) | 77 | 582 | 25% | | Calcium (mg) | 3.3 | 25 | 2% | | Iron (mg) | 0.1 | 1.2 | 7% | | Potassium (mg) | 20 | 150 | 3% | | Vitamin C (mg) | 0.2 | 2.0 | 2% | | Vitamin B12 (µg) | 0 | 0 | 0% | ### Ingredient data sources - Rice, white, long-grain, raw — 185g — Rice, white, long-grain, regular, raw, unenriched — USDA SR Legacy - White wine — 355g — Alcoholic beverage, wine, table, white — USDA SR Legacy - Salt — 6g — Salt, table — USDA SR Legacy - Onion — 110g — Onions, raw — USDA SR Legacy ⚠️ = estimated or sourced outside the listed databases. % Daily Value based on FDA 2020 Daily Values for adults (2,000 kcal diet).
