FAQs

Can I use brown rice instead of white rice?

Yes, brown rice works well but may require a slightly longer cooking time beforehand and will give a nuttier flavor and chewier texture.

Is it okay to use fresh vegetables instead of frozen?

Absolutely, fresh vegetables can be used. Just chop them into small uniform pieces and cook until tender before adding the eggs and rice.
