[@Stelly2015]

Wow I haven’t searched a Moro recipe on KZbin in over a year. I don’t know what made me search one today but I’m glad you have this channel! It is great to see latinas our age still cooking traditionally! Thank you for the detailed rice to water ratio recipe. I get too many different opinions from my mom and tias about that. Lol

[@AndreaWhyms]

Making this for Xmas with your oxtail and making your pernil hopefully for new years

[@gabrielagarcia3616]

Made this rice and brought me back childhood memories!!! My mom’s best friend is Dominican and she would always have a huge pot of this rice and arroz moro con masitas de puerco!! Ufff so good with some plátanos!! Yesss!!!

[@fredpanapa4134]

Just finished making your dish, it came out so awesome. My son in-law is saying it taste amazing. Thank you so much

[@anonymizzle]

I made this tonight! It was soooooo good! I moved from NY to Los Angeles and there are NO "Spanish Restaurants" - no Dominican food, no Puerto Rican food that I can find...I missed it so much! I looked at a few recipes and the comments this video made me go with yours instead of the other ones! I made the right choice! I made it for my mom and myself and when we tasted it we both yelled "this is IT!!!!" lol! I've even gone to "Spanish" restaurants in NY that were sometimes hit or miss with the rice but this was definitely a hit! I remember I had a Dominican roommate in New York who made moro all the time and she promised to teach me and never got around to it, but thanks to you I don't need her! HAHAHA THANKS GIRL! I also made your Dominican style fried chicken to go with it and it was delish! I would have never thought to fry chicken with lime and vinegar but it was delish! - Can you make a video for moro with black beans? There was one they called "black rice" that I really liked as well. THANKS AGAIN!

[@Chefzeecooks]

You are so welcome!!!! I'm so happy that both you and your mom liked the recipe! Means the world!!! I have a recipe on my channel for Congri aka Moro Negro. It's the one with the black beans 😊 I'm half Cuban hence why I call Congri 😋

[@pb.pb.pb.pb.]

Hi, just wanna say this is the best recipe. I've been making it for 2 yrs now, I love it. Thank you so much. I just have 1 question. At 2:12 you say "once the water starts to boil, we are going to add our white rice" but its been on Medium Flame the whole time, so it won't come to a boil. In that case, right after we add the water, should we put it up to a High Flame until it starts to boil, then add the rice, then, bring it down to medium flame again with the rice in so that it simmers until the water dries out? or leave it boiling at High Flame until the water dries out? Do you understand what I'm trying to say? It may sound a little mixed up hahaha. Anyways thanks, I am going to do the first question that I asked, actually doing it in this very moment haha. Amazing recipe, thank you !!! Saludos de Costa Rica

[@pb.pb.pb.pb.]

Well, my electric stove cant even get the whole pot it to a boil in time so b the time it started to fully boil (instead of just the middle), it's almost dried out to what yours looks like lol.. still gonna come out AMAZING

[@Chefzeecooks]

I know exactly what you mean!!! That's part of the reason why I started my channel. So many of us learned by adding "un chin chin" lol and after 32987423947 of messing up the dish you're like, "so how much exactly is un chin chin?" Lol And Zee is my nickname because so many people butcher my real name. My first name is Xenia. The X makes an S sound. Almost like Jesenia except there's no Je in my name lol.

When u cover the habichuelas with the rice is the flame has to be high heat or medium

When you cover it with the rice and the water has dried out you want to change to LOW. This way the rice will steam and not burn. I hope this helps!c
