Tips & Swaps

For the white rice, wash the rice properly to remove excess starch and avoid overcooking so the rice does not become too soft. For Chicken Stew, fry the tomato mixture well to remove the raw tast and use chicken stock for a richer flavor. Grilled or fried chicken gives the stew a deeper taste. For Zobo Drink, do not add too much ginger unless you like it spicy and chill before serving for the best taste.
