Rinsing the rice before cooking removes excess starch, resulting in fluffier, less sticky rice. For a richer flavor, use chicken broth instead of vegetable broth. Feel free to add other vegetables, such as corn, peas, or carrots, to customize the dish. A pinch of saffron threads added to the broth will impart a beautiful color and subtle flavor. Don't skip the resting period! This allows the steam to evenly distribute and ensures perfectly cooked rice.
