Boil rice with any kain sauce pan make sure em gat lid.(yu save mipla nogat kain samtin olsem rice cooker). Make sure yu keep an eye on the rice so it doen't burn at the bottom.

Hahahah they are the easiest cooking instructions I have ever read LOL and for the record I have tried ya recipe out on my 3 person tribe and they loved it, heeheheh

We need to get off this corned beef tinned fish stuff. They're imported junk fish and junk meat. Buying that food helps destroy our kina, it don't matter if their canned in PNG everything else about them is foreign. To think that we have all the wonderful truly PNG food possibilities and yet you concentrate on this crap that the colonial mastas brought in. Our indigenous food is far higher quality then tinned fish and corned beef, much less the health concerns of fatty meats.........

My friend, thanks for being the health/food critic. I pose this question to you. Do you have a recipie?

Substitute fresh, healthy, nambawan A1 PNG fresh fish for all tinned fish examples.

Substitute fresh, healhy, nambawan A1 PNG grown protein or wild bush meat for all corned beef examples!

Make the change and never look back!!! :-)

Cheers mate! sounds really great. Full support.
