** The texture of the rice should be a bit chewy and the taste ought to be a bit spicy n fragrant.***You can substitute chicken with any other meat or even seafood if you wish. ****This is my modified version of Spanish Rice, very easy n fast to make


用Mabel的芝心pizza食譜做的﹐老公都讚好。 謝謝Mabel﹗
Nicky & Britney love to eat pizzas, and recently they fell in love with Pepperoni & Cheese pan pizza. Used another recipe last week, but a bit of disappointment because its crust was not as thick as I wanted. Upon Blue Rain's recommendation, I tried Mabel's recipe; what a treasure.... !
很棒哦~~
