  • 3 tablespoon oil
  • 1 coffee cup (70 ml) rice
  • 1 dessert spoon salt

  4. Add the spinach and carry on frying them together.
  5. After frying a little, add the boiled rice.

Tips

Do not cook the rice together with the spinach; spinach falls apart quickly while rice takes longer. The two are prepared separately and brought together at the end.
