So I decided I was going to make a 8/10 skill level dish (arroz imperial) that my momma used to make. I tell my mom my plans and she says the same thing she always says when half listening "mmmhmm yeah just follow the recipe". Okay cool that& #39;s simple.

So I& #39;m cooking WELL into the night bc the sauce mixture will not set. I& #39;m deadass feelimg aggravated bc it& #39;s my bed time and I still gotta pop this shit in the oven
Anyways, I taste the sauce. It& #39;s still a little runny, still not setting but it taste great so I pop it in the oven and wait. I already have a strong feeling that this won& #39;t be the same texture but maybe the sauce will thicken when it bakes
I take it out and just as a I suspected bc the sauce was thick the rice never really clumped together like a casserole so it& #39;s just some free flowing rice n seasoned chicken . At this point I& #39;m rereading the recipe like what did I miss
I call my mom bc I ain& #39;t miss shit, like I knew I didn& #39;t. And just fyi my mom is a night owl, her awareness is heightened at the times between 11pm-6 am. So now she& #39;s full attention. I tell my mom what happen feeling kind of defeated and this woman, on my life, told me this:
Oh you& #39;re making the arroz imperial with the recipe from my book? Okay listen steps 6-14 u can& #39;t do it like it says, u gotta cook the peas in a different pot, add more tomato sauce, dump it in slowly, and layer the cheese not just at the top OR THE SAUCE WONT THICKEN
