Tips
Get all ingredients ready before cooking (mise en place) to prevent burning.
Brown the rice for about 4-5 minutes, ensuring it does not burn, just gets brown.
Work fast when adding water to the hot pan.
Do not mix the rice after adding the tomato sauce.
Do not open the lid during the first 10 minutes of cooking.
After turning off the stove, leave the rice covered on the stove for 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, remove from heat but leave covered for another 10 minutes to finish steaming.
