Notes
- Rice: If you substitute Jasmine Rice with other types of rice, adjust the pressure cooking time accordingly.
- Lime: You can substitute lime with lemon. Keep in mind limes are usually smaller and less sour than lemons. So, the flavor profile will slightly differ according to the lemon you use. Adjust the amount accordingly.
- Unsalted Chicken Stock & Unsalted Butter: We develop recipes using unsalted ingredients for more control and consistency in the dish’s flavors. If you substitute with salted ingredients, taste and adjust the saltiness accordingly.
- Double Recipe: You can double the recipe. Double all the ingredients amount and use the same pressure cooking time.
