Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup long-grain rice
2 ½ cups water
1 ½ tablespoons tomato-flavored bouillon powder (such as Knorr®)
2 dashes onion powder
2 dashes garlic powder

Steps:

Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Fry rice in hot oil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Stream water into the saucepan while stirring the rice; season with tomato powder, onion powder, and garlic powder and stir.
Bring the mixture to a boil and cook at a boil for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low, place a cover on the saucepan, and cook until the moisture is mostly absorbed by the rice, about 15 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and let sit covered to let last moisture be absorbed into rice, about 5 minutes more.

Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your bouillon. Choose ripe, in-season tomatoes that are bursting with flavor.
Roast the tomatoes before simmering: Roasting the tomatoes concentrates their flavor and gives them a slightly smoky taste. This step is optional, but it definitely takes the bouillon to the next level.
Use a variety of herbs and spices: Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to create a bouillon that suits your taste. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic, and onion.
Simmer the bouillon for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the bouillon, the more flavorful it will be.
Strain the bouillon before using: This will remove any solids, such as tomato skins and seeds. You can use a fine-mesh strainer or a cheesecloth-lined colander.

Conclusion:

Tomato bouillon is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's a great way to add flavor to soups, stews, sauces, and gravies. You can also use it to braise meats or vegetables. With its rich, savory flavor, tomato bouillon is sure to become a staple in your kitchen.
