Ingredients

• 1 cup dry rice (white or brown)
• 2 cups chicken or beef bone broth
• Pinch of salt (optional, only if needed)

Instructions

1. Rinse the rice (optional but helpful).
   Place rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold water for a few seconds.
   This removes extra starch and helps prevent sticky rice.

2. Add rice and bone broth to a pot.
   Use the same ratio you would normally use with water.
   For most rice:
   • 1 cup rice
   • 2 cups bone broth

3. Bring to a boil.
   Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.

4. Lower heat and cover.
   Once boiling, reduce heat to low and cover with a lid.

5. Cook until liquid is absorbed.
   • White rice: 15–18 minutes
   • Brown rice: 35–45 minutes

6. Rest off heat.
   Turn off the heat and keep the lid on.
   Let the rice rest 5 minutes to finish steaming.

7. Fluff and taste.
   Fluff with a fork.
   Taste and add salt only if needed — bone broth is often already salty.

Tips

• Bone broth adds extra protein and minerals with no extra effort.
• Chicken bone broth gives a lighter flavor.
• Beef bone broth gives a deeper, richer taste.
• Use low-sodium bone broth so you can control salt.
• This rice works for bowls, meal prep, stir-fries, and as a side.
