How to Make Bone Broth Rice (Perfect Flavor, Easy)
Making Bone Broth rice is perfect if you're tired of plain rice and want to add protein to your meal! Replacing water for bone broth when cooking rice is a simple swap that adds lots of flavor and some extra nutrition including certain amino acids and a small amount of calcium and phosphorus.
Equipment
- 1 saucepan
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown rice, dry (or your favorite rice)
- 2 cups chicken bone broth (or beef bone broth)
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse the rice under cold water to get rid of some of the excess starch. Add the rinsed rice and the bone broth to a medium saucepan on medium heat or high heat.
- Bring the rice and broth to a boil and add the olive oil. Reduce heat and cover the pot with a lid. Simmer for 40 minutes for brown rice or 20 minutes for white rice (check the package for the rice you are using because cooking time will vary). Once it's done cooking, remove from the heat and let it sit for 5 minutes before removing the lid. Fluff rice with a fork.
Notes
Expert Tips
Here are some tips for making the perfect rice when cooking rice on the stovetop.
- Rinse the rice under cold water in a mesh strainer before cooking. This helps get rid of some of the starch and will prevent the rice from becoming gummy while it cooks
- Don't remove the lid from the pot while the rice cooks! It will release some of the steam.
- After the rice is done, remove the pot from the heat and let it stand for 5-10 minutes, covered, before removing the lid.
- Refrigerator - let the rice cool and store in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
