3. Warm the pot over low heat and gently toast the flatbread in the hot oil. Never add the bread to the pot before the oil is hot.
4. After placing the bread, pour the drained or steamed rice over it. Adding rice immediately after placing the bread helps prevent the bottom from sticking and keeps the bread from drying out.
