Notes
- Purchase and store quality fresh ingredients to make the rice extra tasty.
- Pre-cook the rice or use leftovers for cooking.
- There are plenty of substitutes you can try for the different ingredients.
- The rice should be cooked before stir-frying it, so you’ll find it easier to fry it with the kidney or liver (meat) and vegetables.
