  5. “Uncover, and eat your heart out! But you may want to wait until they cool a little. But if you’re like me, you have no patience. Don’t burn your tongue, says Jodi”
  6. Recipe tip:
  7. Jodi suggests using minute or regular rice. She uses regular uncooked rice because she likes texture, a little crunch. She said, “Lee, on the other hand, prefers mush. So if you’re like Farmer Lee, you’ll want to go for minute rice, or already cooked regular long grain rice.”
