Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option
- 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil for a healthier alternative
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional Add-ons
- Diced onions
- Chopped green bell peppers
- A pinch of cayenne pepper for heat
Instructions
- Prep the Rice: Rinse the rice under cold water in a fine mesh strainer until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and helps achieve fluffy rice.
- Sauté the Rice: Heat the butter in a medium-sized pot over medium heat. Add the rinsed rice and sauté for 2–3 minutes until the grains are slightly toasted and translucent.
- Add the Liquid and Seasonings: Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
- Cook the Rice: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and let the rice simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed. Avoid removing the lid during this time.
- Finish the Rice: Turn off the heat and let the rice sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice gently with a fork, taste, and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Notes
- Use fresh chicken broth for the best flavor.
- Avoid overcooking to keep the rice from becoming mushy.
- If using additional vegetables, sauté them with the rice for enhanced flavor.
