Ingredients
  

For the Rice
  • 3 tablespoons Butter Adds richness and flavor; substitute with olive oil for a lighter option.
  • 1 cup Rice Long-grain white or jasmine rice offers the best texture.
  • 0.5 medium Onion Brings sweetness and depth; shallots can be used for a milder flavor.
  • 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce Opt for low-sodium soy sauce to lighten the dish.
  • 2 cups Chicken Broth Swap for vegetable broth for a vegetarian-friendly version.
For the Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika Contributes subtle smokiness; replace with smoked paprika for a deeper flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder Enhances onion flavor without texture; fresh onion can also be used.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Offers a strong aromatic quality; use fresh minced garlic for more intensity.
  • 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper Adds heat; adjust to taste or omit for a milder option.
  • 2 tablespoons Parsley Brings freshness and color; fresh is preferable, but dried can work too.

  2. Add 1 cup of rice to the skillet, stirring it for about 5 minutes until lightly golden.
  3. Stir in half a diced onion and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the onions turn translucent.
  4. Mix in 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  5. Pour in 2 cups of chicken broth, stirring to combine, and bring to a simmer for about 5 minutes.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, and let it simmer for 12 to 15 minutes until the liquid is fully absorbed.
  7. Lift the lid, fluff with a fork, and season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
