How to make rice with minced meat in a frying pan with tomato paste? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. Minced meat can be taken from any type of meat. I will cook with minced pork. Take long grain rice. It will not boil over and will be crumbly. Rinse it several times in cold water and drain all the water from it.

Step 2
Place the rice in boiling water and add a little salt. Cook rice until cooked according to package instructions. This usually takes about 20 minutes. The finished rice will become soft.
