I pour boiling water over the rice! I learned this at a restaurant. It’s the most delicious rice I’ve ever eaten.

1. Prepare the rice:

Wash the rice several times until the water runs clear.

In a saucepan, heat 40 ml of vegetable oil over medium heat and lightly brown the rice, stirring constantly.

Add enough boiling water to cover the rice, about 2 cups, and add 2 teaspoons of salt.

Cover the pan with a lid and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and dry.

2. Prepare the sauce base:

Finely chop the onion, garlic cloves, and carrot.

In a large skillet, heat the remaining 50 ml of oil and fry the onion until golden.

Add the chopped garlic and grated carrot. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes.

3. Cook the meat:

Cut the meat into small cubes and add it to the skillet. Brown the outside.

Add the tomato paste and mix well.
