yummy

[@melvinaahwong8719]

I love gandule rice and never tried to make it before because I thought it was too time consuming. You made it look so easy that I couldn't wait to go to the store to buy the ingredients to make this dish in my instant pot. It's just as easy as making regular rice in a rice cooker. Omg I was so proud when this rice came out awesome and delicious. My family came over for dinner and I surprised them with the gandule rice. There were no leftovers, they wiped it out!. I can't wait to make it again. Mahalo, mahalo for the easy recipe!

[@SamuraiMama]

Yes!! I'm so glad! It is definitely a favorite of ours too. We make double batches and freeze it. It freezes well! Just reheat in micro under a damp paper towel.

[@kanikani59]

Wow, that looked easier than I thought it would be! And I love honto rice!

[@SamuraiMama]

Simple and delicious 😋

[@wildernessone6558]

[@kanikani59]

I made this in the mini instant pot, the 3qt size by halving the recipe. Turned out so good, I should have just done it in the bigger instant pot cuz we ate the entire thing in one sitting!

[@SamuraiMama]

[@gonagain]

[@SamuraiMama]

I have to master that myself lol. The last time I cooked it on the stove, my rice was like buckshot! Haha. Which surprised me since I can cook plain rice on the stove just fine lol. I will try it again though!

[@kgv3352]

Do you add the liquid from the peas and olives, or do your drain?

[@SamuraiMama]

Drain :)

[@TrueMLC]

I like what you put in it but where's the sofrito?

[@SamuraiMama]

Hi ML Calo! This is Hawaii style honto rice as Hawaii puts their own spin on dishes and for that reason, sofrito may not be used even though it is used in the authentic version. In fact, using sazon Goya was new as my original recipe I have used only the achiote and other seasonings, but not the sofrito. It could be that sofrito is not widely available and so the Puerto Rican population in Hawaii had to make do without it. We have achiote that grows there..... Thanks for watching!

[@MrSonic1953]

why didn't you chopped the garlic? I would not want to put a clove of whole garlic in my mouth.

[@SamuraiMama]

It's easier to pick out for the family members who do not enjoy eating it. Thanks for watching!

[@jona9220]

Where can you find the Sazon Packets? Cause I can’t find it here on the BIG I

[@SamuraiMama]

Shucks! I used to find em there, Sack n Save and KTA. I order them on Amazon, too.

[@jona9220]

Mahalo. I’ll go and look.

[@jona9220]

Mahalo. I’ll go and look.

[@wrivera2656]

Wow the Goya gandules cans are produced here inPuerto Rico and it goes as far as Hawaii.

[@sheldonortiz4816]

Can you find these ingredients at foodland/sacknsave or gotta go to a Mexican/Latin mom and pop store

[@SamuraiMama]

Back home in Hawaii, they have everything needed at Sack N Save/Foodland and even Walmart.

[@sheldonortiz4816]
