Rice is so simple to make. I like to keep some prepped in the refrigerator to add to meals throughout the week. Little did I know it can add so much more flavor to meals if you cook it with broths!
After cooking your rice this way, there is no going back. It is hands down the best and only way to make rice! The broth gives it such a savory flavor and the butter adds a whole new dimension to the texture. Feel free to use other broths as well. Quick tip, save the broth rendered from and meat you cook in the crockpot and use that to cook your rice. You will be thanking me later. I have even seen rice cooked with coconut milk. That is next on my list to try! But for now, I will be enjoying every last bite of this rice!
Now, there is a lot of disagreeing and misinformation out there about rice and if you are wondering about any of it, I highly recommend checking out this researched article by Fed & Fit. Mainly, it goes into the differences of brown and white rice, are either of them healthy, what are the carb contents of both, difference between whole and refined grains, and more! I choose to eat white rice because it is what works best for me and makes me feel my best.
White rice, brown rice, quinoa, whatever have you. Use this cooking method!
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1½ cup chicken broth
- 1 tbsp grass-fed butter
- dash of salt
- Place a small pot on the stove over high heat and add the butter, broth and salt. Bring to a boil.
- Once boiling add the rice and bring back to a boil. Once boiling again reduce the heat to low, cover and let simmer for 10-15 minutes stirring occasionally until fully cooked and fluffy.
