Chef's Notes
Always use a heavy-bottomed pot to distribute heat evenly and achieve that iconic bottom crust without burning the entire meal.
Pro Tip
If your sauce tastes too acidic from the tomatoes, balance it with a tiny pinch of sugar rather than more salt.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you blast the heat on high during the steaming phase, you will turn your precious rice into an inedible charcoal brick.
