For an authentic touch, use Spanish Bomba rice, which absorbs more liquid and creates a wonderful socarrat (crispy bottom layer). Smoked paprika is key to achieving the traditional paella flavor; don't substitute with regular paprika. Adjust the amount of vegetable broth depending on the type of rice you use. You may need more or less liquid to achieve the desired consistency. Feel free to add other vegetables such as asparagus, green beans, or mushrooms. If using seitan, tofu, or tempeh, pre-cook it for better flavor and texture.
