Frequently asked questions
Good questions, answered.
Can I use instant rice instead?
Yes, reduce the broth slightly and the simmer time to about 10 minutes since instant rice cooks faster.
Can I make this ahead?
Yes, it reheats well; add a splash of broth or water when reheating to loosen the rice.
