History & Culture

The Story Behind the Dish

📍 All over Mexico📅 Colonial era🍚 MX

Rice came to Mexico with the Spanish in the 16th century, and Mexican cooks quickly gave it their own twist by frying it first and cooking it with native tomatoes.

In Mexico it's called 'sopa seca', dry soup, because it's traditionally served as its own course after a brothy soup and before the main dish.

⭐ Why It's Famous

It's the essential partner to mole, carnitas, chiles rellenos and countless other dishes.

💡 Fun Fact

Frying the rice before adding liquid is the secret that keeps every grain separate and gives it a lightly nutty flavour.
