Recipe Tips

Be sure to rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove any excess starch. This will help the rice cook evenly and prevent it from becoming overly sticky. To add some extra flavor to the dish, try using chicken or vegetable broth in place of the water. This will add some depth and richness to the dish.
