08 Step
Recipe View
Fluff the rice with a fork before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley, if desired.
For a richer flavor, try using coconut milk instead of water or broth.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick.
If you don't have frozen peas and carrots, you can use fresh, just be sure to dice them small.
Toasting the rice in the butter for a few minutes before adding the liquid can enhance its nutty flavor.

May 11, 2025I used brown rice instead of white rice and it turned out great. I had to add a little extra water and cook it for a little longer though.
