While she noted the option of adding peas and carrots for a heartier dish, Marcy kept her recipe basic in this demonstration.
Cooking Method
To kick off her cooking journey, Marcy heated a skillet with enough oil to coat the bottom. Adding the rice, she emphasized the necessity of browning it without burning. This step is crucial, as the golden color adds depth to the flavor. After the rice is browned, she introduced the chopped onion, allowing it to sauté until translucent.
