Substitutions
If you substitute the ground pork with another meat, please ensure it is the same weight. The right proportions ensure that the recipe comes out well (no soggy rice!).
For the thai red chili pepper, you can substitute with a jalapeno for a less spicy version. If you like more spice, feel free to add more thai chili peppers.
Alternative Cooking Instructions
I understand that not everyone has a rice cooker, so some of us might use pots on the stovetop to cook the rice. If that is you, get your medium sized pot ready. Add the rice, according to the recipe directions. Once your pot is filled with rice and all the ingredients…follow the instructions below and you can make your one pot beef and rice!
Heat pot to medium high and cook for 5-7 minutes covered with a lid. The water will start boiling. Make sure to watch over the fire because the water might boil over ◡̈
After 5-7 minutes, turn heat to low and cook for 10 more minutes covered. Do not open the lid during the entire cooking process.
Then turn off the heat and do not open the covered pot. Leave for 20 minutes covered. After the 20-25 minutes is up, mix the rice together and garnish with chopped basil. Hope you enjoy.
