Recipe Tips

To make this recipe vegan, you can use vegetable broth instead of water. You can also use brown rice instead of white rice for added nutrition. Make sure to rinse the rice well before cooking to remove any excess starch. When cooking the rice, resist the temptation to lift the lid and stir as this can cause the rice to become mushy. Instead, let it steam undisturbed until it's fully cooked.
