Some people prefer rice carrots with chicken, so they use chicken instead of minced meat. For this amount of rice carrots, one or 1.5 kg of chicken is needed.
Tip 3:
Due to the fact that rice carrots contain sugar juice and this juice is transferred to the bottom of the pot, this food is more likely to burn than other mixed rice. So either lower the stove too low or use a diffuser flame. Usually about 3 quarters of an hour is enough time to brew this rice.
