Notes

One can use veggie stock in place of the water
If one adds 1 1/2 tbsp of lime juice to the cooking mixture, cooks as per the above instructions, thence adds 1/2 cup of fresh chopped cilantro,  1 1/2 tbsp additional lime juice and the zest of one lime, one  can create a very passable cilantro rice dish.
