In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat.

Add the diced onion and cook until translucent.

Stir in the diced tomato and chopped habanero pepper, cooking until softened.

Add the lamb pieces to the pot and brown them on all sides.

Pour in the soy sauce and beef bouillon, then add 6 cups of water.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the lamb is tender.

Once the lamb is cooked, add the rice and additional water as needed, along with the chili flakes, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Cover the pot and cook until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.
