Tips & Tricks
- For the rice, be sure to use parboiled (like Uncle Ben's converted rice), as it cooks fast enough and works the best with this recipe. And DO NOT precook the rice!
- If you want more heat, add some chilli powder!
- At the end, if you add shredded cheese first and let it sit for 2 minutes with the lid covered, the cheese melts perfectly!
