Wow! I can’t believe this video is almost 100,000 views. I hope y’all are loving this recipe ❤

I learned some tips from this video but have to comment. Water simmers at 100C and doesn't get any hotter for being 'on high heat'. You can save energy by putting a lid on the pan. Also, salt shouldn't be added to beans until they've completed cooking because it toughens them and lengthens the cooking time.

It doesn’t matter how much water you use to cook the beans, nonetheless, you have to ensure that there’s enough coverage for the rice when added.

Plz hw many minutes should the leaves be cooked

@AkuDede

3 жыл бұрын

It depends on the level of infusion you want, how much colour the leaves contain (sometimes, some contain lots of colour, so it comes out pretty quickly, others do not so they take about 5 minutes or so) and the quantity of leaves you are cooking with (if you are using quite a number, it could take about 3 minutes or so). The trick is to check for when the colour changes to what I have in the video. I hope you enjoy cooking it 💕
