Special Precautions and Tips:

• Use Bomba rice, as it is a short-grain rice that absorbs liquid well and results in a creamy texture.
• If you can't find Bomba rice, use Arborio rice instead.
• Let the rice soak in cold water for at least 30 minutes to help it cook evenly.
• Don't overcook the rice, as it will become mushy.
