tip: make sure you have all of your ingredients prepared and measured out, including the spices, before you start cooking. the food cooks very quickly, so you need to have everything organized and at hand – you don’t want your kitchen to be more chaotic than absolutely necessary!
the first thing you should put on to cook is your rice. it needs the least attention during cooking and can stay warm for a long time once it is ready. i have a very convenient rice-cooker, which i can highly recommend buying if you eat rice more than once a week. the advantage of using it is that it cooks the rice
