How To Make Bone Broth Rice

• Combine rice, bone broth, and water in a saucepan; heat on medium-high without a lid.
• Wait for a simmer with bubbling around the edges.
• Cover tightly, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook.
• Check water absorption by tilting the pan; reseal immediately.
• Rest off heat, lid on, for 5-10 minutes.
• Fluff with a fork and serve.

• Chicken Stir-Fry: Perfect to go on top of the rice.

Rice Cooking Tips

• Simmering: Wait until the mixture starts bubbling at the edges with movement in the center.
• Avoid peeking: Keep the lid on to maintain steam and temperature for fluffy rice.

Prep Time: 5 minutes minutes

Cook Time: 13 minutes minutes

Total Time: 18 minutes minutes

Servings: 3 cups cooked rice

Equipment

• Medium pot with lid, see note 1

Ingredients 

USMetric

 

1x2x3x

• ▢ 1 cup bone broth
• ▢ 1/2 cup water
• ▢ 1 cup basmati rice do not rinse
• ▢ 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions 

• In a medium pot, add all ingredients. Place over medium-high heat without a lid.
• Wait until mixture starts bubbling at the edges with movement in the center and the surface turns frothy. Once this happens, cover pot with a lid and reduce heat to low. Simmer 13–15 minutes without taking off the lid, touching, or stirring.
• After cooking, tilt the pot slightly to ensure all water has been absorbed. Replace lid immediately.
• Remove from heat and let it sit with the lid on for 10 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork and enjoy.

Recipe Notes

Note 1: For larger quantities, use a bigger pot. Cooking time will be a bit longer.

Problems?

• Overflow: Use a snug, heavy lid; lower heat or use a larger pot.
• Burnt rice: Decrease heat adjusting for stove strength. Use a heavier pan if possible for better heat distribution.
• Gummy rice: Check to ensure measurements are correct, and avoid very small pots.

Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days. To reheat, add a splash of water, cover, and warm in microwave or on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally.
