Heat a large drizzle of oil in a small pot (use a medium pot for 4 servings) over medium-high heat. Add minced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 1-3 minutes.

Stir in 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4), rice, and a big pinch of salt. • Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
