FAQ

Can use lemons instead of limes?

Yes you can.

Can I use bottle lime juice?

I would not recommended, the bottle lime juice have a very different flavor, I highly recommend the fresh lime juice.

Can I cook the rice in a rice cooker?

Personally, I don't like it. It dries the rice a lot. I feel that I don't have control on the cooking process.

Substitute for cilantro?

You can use parsley, same quantity.

Can I use chicken broth instead of the powder chicken bouillon?

yes you can.If you use chicken broth instead of the water, add around a ½ teaspoon of salt to the rice.
