chicken

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: canned chickpeas

Tofu provides a plant-based protein alternative.

Heat oil in a medium-sized pot.

Add chopped onion, garlic, and carrots to the pot, mixing well, and allow to cook for about 2-3 minutes.

Wash the parboiled rice thoroughly before adding it to the pot.

Add the washed rice to the pot and toss it, allowing it to cook for about 1-2 minutes.

Pour in the canned coconut milk and a little water into the pot.

Add the seasonings: brown sugar, chicken bouillon, seasoned salt, complete seasoning, and black pepper, and stir well.

Optional: Add a little casrip for color, or soy sauce if preferred, and give it a good stir.

Cover the pot and cook for about 15 minutes before adding the canned peas to prevent them from becoming mushy.

After 15 minutes, add the canned peas to the pot and stir.

Cover the pot again and continue cooking until the rice is tender, about 30 minutes on medium-low heat.

Leave a little liquid in the pot to prevent the rice from drying out as it cools.
