Notes
Tips for making a good one-pot meal:
Tip 1:Make sure any meats used are cut small enough to cook through. For food safety purposes you want to make sure the meat is cooked before adding rice or noodles to a one-pot meal.Tip 2:Use Instant Rice. I only cooked mine for about 5 minutes, before the rice was almost ready. Instant rice is quicker for a meal like this.
