Helpful Tips 🌟

Use day-old rice for the best texture—freshly cooked rice may turn mushy.
If you love spice, add suya spice or chilli flakes for that Naija kick.
Don’t skip the eggs—they add protein and balance.
To make it healthier, use brown rice or reduce the Indomie seasoning pack (since it’s high in sodium).
