How To Make rice a roni (rice cooker)
-
Step 1Add the butter to the rice cooker pot and place on Cook. Melt the butter then add the orzo. Cook the orzo for a few minutes, stirring often, until starting to brown, it will smell like pop corn. (If you do not have orzo, just break up spaghetti into 1/2 inch pieces, works just as well.)
-
Step 2Add the rinsed rice, broth, and seasonings. Stir together. Cover and let the rice cooker complete the cook cycle. -
Step 3When the cooker switches to Warm, remove lid, fluff rice, serve as a side dish and enjoy.
