In a large saucepan, add 3/4 cup oil and the cut meat. Add salt and seasoning.
Add the chopped vegetables and mix well. Let stand for about 30 minutes and stir as needed.
Boil 2.5 liters of water. Wash the rice and set it aside.
In the pot with meat, check to see if there is still water and oil. Then put the rice inside and stir well.
Then add boiled water and stir. Cook it until it is soft and little liquid remains.
