Recipe Notes

Since everyone's taste preferences vary when it comes to saltiness, sweetness, bitterness, spiciness, acidity, and heat, it's essential to season your food with spices and seasonings based on your personal preferences. If you're trying a particular seasoning for the first time, be cautious, especially with spices like chili pepper, as they can be quite potent.

When it comes to cooking, it's advisable to use filtered or bottled water that has a neutral taste. If you opt for tap water, be aware that it can impart an undesirable, distinctive flavor to your dish.
