This crop is an annual plant but can thrive as a perennial crop in tropical zones. Rice can be used for lots of recipes such as cake, soup, pap, cooked as it is, and combined with other forms of foods such as vegetables and fruits. And so there are quite a several rice varieties with the most popular being white rice broken further into long-grained, short-grained, enriched, polished and others.

Now let’s get started with our rice and stew recipe

INGREDIENT FOR THE STEW

1 pound diced tomato

1 pound of crushed tomato

½ pound of tomato paste

1 large onion

2 cloves of garlic

Salt to taste.

Chicken season flavor – 3 tablespoons need for the whole cooking

2 cups of vegetable oil

½ teaspoon of curry

2 pounds of chicken (optional)

1 pound beef honeycomb (optional)

2 pounds of Mackerel (optional)

½ cup of crushed pepper

 

FOR THE WHITE RICE

Four cups of rice (for 7 servings)

 

PROCEDURE

Wash the chicken and beef into a pot

Add the 2 cloves chopped garlic, ½ teaspoon of curry, 2 tablespoons of chicken season flavor and salt to taste, now add just one cup of water, boiling meat does not require a lot of water if you want the ingredients to penetrate the meat and give it a nice and satisfying taste; then set on the stove to cook and let it cook for about 15 to 25 minutes.

While the meat is cooking, to another pot, add your 2 cups of oil and some cuts onion to it to fry a little bit for about 1 to 2 minutes maximum please for safety purposes. The reason for frying the onion is to give it a nice aroma and improve the taste as well if your vegetable oil has a smell you don’t like, the frying onion in it, will remove the unwanted smell.

Then add all your tomatoes, that is, the crushed, diced and tomato paste, the combination of these tomatoes gives a very nice finishing, your stew will have an awesome taste, add your ½ cup of pepper (note: for the pepper, use at your discretion, use quantity of pepper you can tolerate).

Set your deep fryer up and make it ready to fry the chicken. Now go back to check how the meat is doing, if cooked, set into the fryer, and fry it to crispy.

By now, the tomato combination should be cooked, so add your cooked beef comb, the fish and the meat stock as well, let it cook for about 5 minutes for all to blend together.

After 5 minutes, add your fried chicken, set your to the barest minimum because at this point, so you can leave for about 5 minutes and then turn the stove off.

 

NEXT IS COOKING THE RICE

For 4 cups of rice, set on the stove or rice cook 6 to 7 cups of water to boil. Wash your rice and set aside while waiting for the water to boil. Once boiled, add your rice carefully add a ¼ teaspoon of salt (optional) and leave to cook for about 15 minutes.
