For a vegetarian option, substitute vegetable bouillon granules for the beef bouillon. Experiment with different herbs such as oregano, basil, or parsley to customize the flavor profile. To prevent sticking, rinse the white rice under cold water before cooking to remove excess starch. If you prefer a firmer texture, reduce the amount of water slightly; for a softer texture, add a bit more water. Store any leftover herb rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
