For a richer flavor, toast the rice in the saucepan for a few minutes before adding the liquid. Feel free to substitute other vegetables, such as mushrooms, zucchini, or green beans. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a touch of heat. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
