I made this on a whim and didn’t realize I was missing some ingredients until I started cooking, so I had to make some substitutions. based on others’ suggestions on instagram I also added some cinnamon. This rice turned out delicious and I can’t wait to go grocery shopping and try it as intended by the original recipe!
I have made this rice twice, but thought about it a million times since. It is so tasty, can pair with almost anything, or just be eaten alone. Will be an absolute staple in my life moving forward:
This rice is delicious! It’s so easy to make. I’ve added it to my weekly meal ideas.
This rice has got to be the tastiest yet the simplest rice to make. It has been a part of my repertoire since I discovered that TT video. Can you doctor it and add more to it? Sure, but why? It’s perfect the way it is.
