Notes
We love cooking in video games and also love bringing gaming recipes to life! Tears of the Kingdom has so many delicious looking foods that we can't wait to explore and this one started us off strong! Flipping the rice and letting it cook for a few minutes on each side helps develop the crispy texture which this recipe is all about. Feel free to flip more or less for a more or less crispy result. Additionally, depending on the pan you may have to let the rice crisp a bit longer, you're looking for a light brown toasted look when flipping the rice.
