Recipe Tips

For best results, be sure to rinse the rice thoroughly before adding it to the pot. This will remove any excess starch and prevent the rice from becoming too sticky. You can also use vegetable broth instead of water for extra flavor. Finally, don't be afraid to adjust the seasoning to your taste - add more salt, cumin, or chili powder as needed.
