Cooking notes
Spread cooked rice out to cool quickly when the recipe calls for chilled rice, then refrigerate it promptly.
Cook the eggs until they reach the doneness you prefer, following local food-safety guidance.
Cut chicken into even pieces so it cooks consistently, and cook it through before serving.
Good to know
Serve it with a simple side that complements the main ingredients, such as a salad, cooked vegetables, bread or rice where appropriate.
You can often swap rice varieties, but cooking time and liquid requirements can change. Use the package directions for the rice you choose when they differ from the recipe.
