Feel free to experiment with different vegetables based on what you have on hand. Bell peppers, zucchini, or even frozen peas work wonderfully. For a richer flavor, consider using chicken broth instead of water and bouillon. If you prefer a creamier pilaf, add a tablespoon of butter or olive oil before cooking.

Jun 29, 2025My rice cooker doesn't have a 'cook' setting. Should I use the 'steam' setting instead?

Jun 29, 2025I found that 3.5 cups of water was too much for my rice cooker. The rice was a little mushy. Next time, I'll reduce the water slightly.
