      @Lamicooks  3 года назад +3

      Thanks dear. You should let the steam cook it for you. Once you are sure you added enough water, reduce the heat to the lowest, cover with foil, kitchen towel or parchment paper, make sure its tight to retain the steam and the magic will happen 🤣. Note: this type of rice is very hard compared to the normal ones we use so make sure you add enough water. Let me know once you try this style. I hope these tips helps. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
