Do you use instant “minute” rice or the kind that takes time to cook?
@Anonymous,
Use the kind that takes time to cook.
Can’t wait to try all your cafe rio recipes. I grew up in Utah but married a southern boy. Now we live just south of Memphis. Every time we go visit family and friends in Utah we go straight from the airport to Cafe Rio.
