Gracias por difundir nuestra comida. Es chistoso fomo para algunas personas es tan raro y aun lo cocinan. Por mi parte, ya habia pensado hacer este arroz “exotico” para compartir en Navidad con la familia de mi esposo y con mis papas que vienen de visita desde Colombia. Dios te bendiga y a tu familia.

question says
On this coke and rice recipe, is it 1 and one half cups coke, or just one half cup coke? Thanks.
Erica says
1 and 1/2 cups.
peter mac says
sorry to bother you but one cup of water and one and a half cups of coke seem,s like a lot of liquid.is this right?
Erica says
Peter- I use 2/1/2 cups of liquid, but if you want your rice drier, use less liquid about 2 cups.
Rebecca says
when you add the rice, does it have to be cooked rice or just the dry rice that isnt cooked yet.?
Erica says
Rebecca- Uncooked rice.
Angie says
Erica,
Once again, going through your recipes is like going through my mom’s kitchen. She used to cook this rice in special ocassions and we loved it. She also added raisins because we loved the sweet taste combined with whatever main dish she was serving (usually pernil asado). Thank you for posting this recipe!
Dinie says

Hi Erica,
This is an awesome dish!I wish I knew about it when I needed something fast but tasty to make.
I’m Joy, a photographer for Spoon University, and I’m writing a story about your recipe. If it’s okay with you, I’d love to use this photo (http://www.mycolombianrecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/Arroz-con-Coca-Cola1.jpg) in the article and of course give you proper photo credit.
If you could let me know as soon as possible, that would be great.
Thanks so much ahead of time.

I’m trying to make this recipe for vegetarians, but just wondering if vegetable broth instead of chicken bouillon would be a good replacement, or if it would change the flavor completely… thoughts please?
