For enhanced flavor, toast the rice in the oil for a few minutes before adding the liquid. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your spice preference. A pinch adds a subtle kick, while a 1/4 teaspoon will bring the heat. If you don't have avocado oil, olive oil or another neutral-flavored oil will work well. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for a vibrant finishing touch.

Apr 18, 2025The quick-release method made the rice a little too wet for my liking. Next time, I'll try letting the pressure release naturally for a few more minutes.
