Lisander Lopez on 2024-04-12 (5 stars): OMG, I want to THANK YOU from the BOTTOM of my heart. I've ALWAYS struggled to make rice the way Mami makes it. I used to make "American rice" , with a pot, rice cooker, instant pot.... you name it.
But this.... this right here is DOMINICAN RICE. I can finally pair this rice with some slices of salami and/or eggs when I'm in a rush!
