    Once the rice has toasted for a bit, add in the broth.

  9. 9

    Once boiling, lower the heat, cover with a lid, and allow it to cook through.

  10. 10

    Once cooked, the rice will have a vibrant color. Enjoy.

Helpful Notes

  • Ensure the broth is slightly too salty before adding the rice, as it will absorb the saltiness during cooking.
