Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your rice skillet taste its best. Look for high-quality rice, vegetables, and spices.
Don't overcrowd the pan: When you add too much food to the pan, it will steam instead of fry. This will result in mushy rice and vegetables. Cook the rice skillet in batches if necessary.
Use a well-seasoned skillet: A well-seasoned skillet will help prevent the rice from sticking. If you don't have a well-seasoned skillet, you can season it by cooking a few tablespoons of oil in it over medium heat for a few minutes.
Cook the rice until it is tender: The rice should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it. If the rice is too soft, it will become mushy.
Add the vegetables and spices at the end of cooking: This will help to preserve their flavor and texture.
Serve the rice skillet immediately: This dish is best served hot and fresh. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.}

Conclusion:

Spicy rice skillet is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. It is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. Add your favorite vegetables, spices, and protein.
