Steps:
- In a 4-quart medium saucepan heat the oil over high heat until hot. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 4 minutes. Add the garlic, salt, red pepper, and bay leaf and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the water, parsley and cilantro and bring to a boil. Add the rice and stir well. When the liquid returns to a boil, stir again, then cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Cook the rice undisturbed for 20 minutes, or until the liquid is dissolved and the rice is tender.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients whenever possible, especially for the egg whites and sugar, as this will result in a lighter and fluffier texture.
- Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature before whipping them, as this will help them reach their full potential volume.
- Whip the egg whites gradually, starting on low speed and increasing it as the whites begin to foam.
- Continue whipping the egg whites until they reach stiff peaks, which means they should hold their shape when the whisk is lifted out of the bowl.
- Add the sugar gradually to the egg whites, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whip.
- Once all the sugar has been added, continue whipping the egg whites for a few more minutes, until they are glossy and thick.
- When folding the egg whites into the other ingredients, be gentle and use a spatula to avoid deflating them.
- Bake the snow drops at a low temperature for a long time, as this will help them to rise and set properly.
- Allow the snow drops to cool completely before serving, as this will help them to hold their shape.
Conclusion:
Portuguese snow drops are a delicious and delicate treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized with different flavors and colors. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced baker, you are sure to enjoy making and eating these delightful cookies.
