In this video, I will show you how to make couscous, a typical Brazilian food.

You will need a bag of couscous, which is hard to find but available online.

Use either 1 cup or 2 cups of couscous; I used about half a cup.

Add half a cup to one cup of water, being careful not to add too much to avoid sogginess.

Add salt to your taste, but be cautious not to use too much salt.

Let it sit for about 10 minutes to soak up the water.

Prepare the couscousera by filling it halfway with water as shown.

Turn the stove on low to medium heat.

After 10 minutes, add the couscous to the couscousera.

Wait another 10 minutes for the couscous to cook.

You can eat it with various toppings; I cooked scrambled eggs and mixed them with the couscous.
