FAQs

Can I use brown rice instead of white?
Absolutely! Just remember, brown rice usually takes longer to cook. Plan for about 40-45 minutes.

Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! Make it a day ahead and just reheat when you’re ready to serve.

What should I do if the rice is too sticky?
Fluff it up gently with a fork; a splash of broth or water can help as well if it’s really clumpy.
