Tips and Tricks:
- Cooking eggs for only 2 minutes will make soft-boiled eggs and they will cook perfectly later along with the rice
- Sliting the boiled egg whites allows the spices to seep into the eggs and flavor them well
- Deglazing is very important to avoid burning at the bottom
- Mint gives a nice kick of flavor to the rice when it cooks (don't make it optional)
