Cooking tips

Because soybean sprouts and seafood release moisture, use about 20% less water than for regular rice to prevent it from becoming mushy.
Stir-fry the beef only until about 80% done before adding it to the pot; this allows the juices to seep into the rice during steaming and keeps the meat tender.
Adding soybean sprouts at the final steaming stage prevents them from becoming tough and preserves their crisp texture.

Recommended for
