- Fluff the rice with a fork and serve.
Notes
- *Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
- When you are cooking the onions we don't want them to get brown, just sweat down a little and get nice and soft.
- Once your rice has come to the boil and you put the lid on, don't lift it up to have a look, even when you turn it off and let it sit for the last 10 minutes! Use your kitchen timer and trust the process! If you lift the lid this lets out the heat and steam that we are using to cook the rice.
