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.
