6 finely sliced green onions
1 chopped garlic clove
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of ground cumin
1-3/4 cup of chicken broth
2.5 ounces of coarsely chopped cilantro
1 cilantro stem for garnish

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan at medium heat until hot. Add the rice and stir for 2 minutes or until the rice grains become opaque.

2. Add the chopped white onion and let cook for 1 minute. Stir in the chilies, green onions, garlic, salt and cumin.
