Procedure
Always remember to wash your hands thoroughly before cooking, hygiene is very important.
Step 1:
Pour rice into a clean pot and pour in 120cl of water(i.e a sachet and a bit more quantity from another sachet)
Since my egg is fresh, I decided to add it to the pot so that it'd cook while the rice is being parboiled. Allow it to cook for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, bring down my rice from the fire, pour it into a filter and then into a basin pot, anything that you're comfortable with for easy Washing of the rice wash until the water is clear and clean.

Step 4
Allow to cook for 20 mins, by then the water must have dried or be almost dry. By this time peel the eggs.

Dish out and serve.

There are other methods/recipes for MTN Rice, some persons begin with frying the oil while others add the oil much later but
I love this recipe because it's orthodox and simple, and it allows everything to cook well and appropriately. I recommend this recipe always.
