Vegan Mexican Rice | 30 Minute Recipe | Arroz Mexicano
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- Hi guys! Welcome back to my channel. My name is Airam pronounced like “Eye-rum.”
Today’s video is another 30 minute recipe! I am showing how to make my favorite side dish growing up, Mexican Rice!!! As many of you know, mexican rice is usually not vegan because it is traditionally made with chicken bouillon. Today I am showing how some alternatives to that, but keep in mind that if don’t have access to any alternative you are more than welcome to replace it with salt to taste! The star here is the tomato/garlic/onion, that’s where the true flavor lies. Mexican rice is traditionally “fried” for 5 minutes & then you pour in your homemade tomato sauce, then the KEY is to bring to a high boil for 5 minutes & reduce to a simmer covered for 16 more. Do not open!!! Let rest after you turn it off. A total of 26 minutes for the rice to be done from start to finish, not counting the tomato sauce blending process which is super easy peasy! Well I hope you guys enjoy my recipe & if you recreate it, feel free to DM me some pictures on instagram. I love to see your dishes!

Hey girl! Could you do like a “what to buy at the grocery store” for vegan beginners ?
Finally made this today. My 3 kids and wife loved it. It's gonna be a regular in this house. Thanks again. My tofu ground beef also came out great(credit to thee burger dude). I love people like you guys make our lives easier, and full of flavor.
I made this for my coworkers today. They all loved it and it's seriously the best rice I've ever had. I didn't have the chicken powder so instead I added a little bit of cumin and lemon pepper. Also some cilantro. So amazing.
Soo last night I had my mom and sis over for dinner and I made this rice and your refried beans they were so impressed so much that they insisted I comment on the video. Soooo so good we all loved it!
SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT YAY 😇💟
I can’t believe I’m barely discovering your videos! Thank you for sharing your recipes. I wasn’t taught how to make Mexican dishes growing up being 6th gen. So it’s been a journey discovering them. It was intimidating & I didn’t have much experience with authentic recipes before going vegan. I’m so excited to try these recipes & keep learning. 💞
This is the best Mexican rice I've ever made! My other tries weren't even vegan and were not as good. When I tasted at boiling point I added salt and a little black pepper. I also used homemade vegetable bouillon instead of store bought. For this reason I added an extra clove of garlic to be sure my seasoning would shine through. And at the end I added a few sprinkles of cumin. It turned out perfect! My sweetie even likes it and he's a picky eater. Thank you very much for sharing!
I've been making refried beans, and now I can finally have some delicious rice with it, too. Thanks for these easy to follow instructions.
I'm going to try making ground beef with tofu to complete my Mexican meal. Hehe
I want to make bean n cheese pupusas someday.
I get so happy when I see that you upload in my feed everytime !!!
That makes my heart warm 🧡🥺 Thank youuuuuu soo much!!!
Made this last night for a party. It was delicious!
Thank you Airam for this delicious recipe. I cooked the rice for my grandkids and they absolutely loved it. I cook it twice a week as they eat it everyday. Greetings from Seattle!
Thank you this was a very direct and easy tutorial to follow :)
Im so hungry and your rice looks so yummy. I love it with chickpeas and green olives.
Airam you’re the best!! I’ve tried making this rice so many times and the flavor is never right - blending the tomato/onion/garlic first really changed everything! Thank youuuu
This rice is so amazing.. you were not lying about the 16 min wait time.. the rice came out perfect! Thank you
YAY!!! Thank you!!!
Yayyy i was hoping for a Mexican rice recipe one day!! Ty for the recipe ^^
Of course!!! Thank youuuu for watching 🧡
Very well done video
This is exactly what I was looking for today!! thank you!! 🤗
So happy I found your channel! I had no idea I could still eat delicious mexican dishes that are totally vegan! Thank u so much! Will be trying this tomorrow with your beans and vegan tacos!
Aw, yes, that’s my main goal 🥲💕 thank you for sharing that with me. Appreciate you & I hope it goes well!! hehe much love!!!
Can’t wait for the refried beans next!
That IS the next video 🙈❤️
Your rice looks great! I love looking at your recipes!
This was such a good recipe. Loved it!
Fantastic, I always undercook my rice. I'd probably still eat raw spanish rice if I had to it's so good.
Omg!!! haha totally honestly 🤣 I hope this video can help hehe
Looks so good 🤤💕💕
So good to see you! Have always wanted to know how to make this. Looks bomb.
Thank you so much!!! I appreciate you 😃🙈
Ooohhh i tried your recipe for the arroz this morning and it came out perfect! Sometimes I have issues with adding too much water but had no problems this time. Thanks for sharing!!
Yay!!! I’m happy to hear that :,) Thank you for the support 💕🥰
Bomb! Def gonna make this. I think I am going to also do what my mom does and then add about a cup of frozen veggies (green beans, peas, corn and carrots) in the last 6 or 7 minutes. Of course veggies should be thawed for a little while and rinsed before adding at the end.
Oooo!!! Yes definitely, love it so much with veggies especially corn & peas hehe ✨🙈
You’ve become my favorite vegan chef! I’m using your recipes this week ✨ can’t wait to make these creations at home! As a latina/e It’s been a struggle to find vegan friendly versions of my childhood dishes. So thank you for posting these videos, you are so appreciated 💕 (do you have a video on milanesa? it was a favorite dish of mine in a torta lmao! If not, I would love to request it!)
Just saw this… I appreciate you so much 😩💗
Marking this saved to try later. Yum!
Yay!! 😍🙈
Why don't you have more subscribers! great content!!!
That looks delicious!
Thank you so much 🥰
Thank you so much! Rice came out amazing ! ❤️
Yay!!! I’m honestly so glad 💕💕
This is exactly how my family makes it ! I love how you cook all of the traditional meals I grew up eating and “veganize” them 😭💜 . This is normally how I make my vegan version except I used the garlic better than bouillon base cause I have a hard time finding “chicken”. But I’ll be on the lookout for the powdered one you mentioned!
Yes! I’ve tried that garlic bouillon too and it’s so good. I too have a hard time finding the chicken bouillon in store so I always opt out for the vegetable hehe thank you for your kind comment, I appreciate you!!! 🧡✨
Omg I love your videossss
Can lie homegirl, this helps for lent when I can't use chicken broth, I was just using vegetable broth with tomato sauce and carne asada rub for the salt and it come out good but it's not the same lol
Thank you so much for sharing this! It may seem easy or obvious to some, but I’ve never had rice turn out and I miss it so much considering it’s hard to find vegan even when eating out. Can’t wait to make this 🖤
Thank you so much 💕🥺 I appreciate you & happy I could be a help hehe
Glad i found this channel
Girl, your hair is amazing 😍
Thank you so much 🥺💕 Its taken years to grow it!
🤤🤤🤤🤤 I wish I had smell-a-vision! 🥰
too funny 🙈🥰
I've been wondering about this, I've made a few attempts and couldn't perfect it. Looking forward to trying this version🍅🍅🍅
Thank you! Looking forward to your feedback 🥰💕
my fave youtube channel 😍😍😭
So sweet 💕🥰
Yummy
Hi Airam, Just bring me, some Tortillas "any" will do & Homemade Refried Beans! Yum! Blessings and love to ALL,
Piper
Nice! By any chance can you do the same but instead cook it on a Instapot ?
I’m gonna make this tomorrow along with your tamales :) maybe refried beans next???
Yes that is the next video! Most likely filming it today 💕🥰 I hope you love the tamales. I am going to film a recipe on my green ones soon!
Looks delicious as always!
Thank you my #1 Fan 🥰💕
I literally made Mexican rice today. Mines didn't look this good. This looks bomb!
Aw thank you a million 💕🥰🥰
you the best 😘
Yass queen is backk
Thank you loveeee!!! I feel so welcomed 🙈🧡
Can I do this with white long grain rice? If so do you know the conversions?
I've been using Knorr Vegetable Broth powder...which takes very chicken-y. Almost like the packet of chicken flavoring for ramen noodles.
Great idea 👍🏽 I haven’t tried it myself but any veggie powder works beautifully! I’ll have to check it out thank you 💕💕
Which base/powder do you recommend the most as replacement for the chicken bouillon?
Sooo there are two forms! You can buy a bouillon that’s a paste or powder form.
For the paste kind, definitely the most accessible would be the Better than bouillon vegetable base! So I tend to reach for that one the MOST. They also have a vegan chicken base which is great too. Just harder to find.
And as far as the powder forms, I love the Orrington farm vegan chicken powder.
*Someone also mentioned that Knorr makes a vegetable one too. I’m yet to try it but it was recommended in the comments!
Hehe at the end of the days all of these should work well 💕
Thank you sm!
Also, if anyone is interested in making their own faux chicken bouillon here is a recipe I use to make it. Really good! Its a lot of ingredients but totally worth it IMO. thelemonapron.com/faux-chicken-bouillon-powder/
LOVE!! Thanks for sharing 💕🥰
Growing up we didn't use chicken bouillon so I'm actually shocked to learn most ppl use it. I personally like it fine without chicken bouillon, especially cus chicken flavor makes it more acidic
Yo am from TikTok I was talking to you about rice not being vegan 😂
HI haha welcome welcome 😚❤️
@@airamcooks I sent this to my mom she said why “no chicken”😂😂😂
I’m dead 💀
@@airamcooks Mexican moms are like that 😂😂😂😂😂🤟
Yes haha Mine actually makes her rice vegan now too ever since I became vegan 😆
