Ingredients

1 cup (220 g) white rice - uncooked, short or long grain
½ cup (70 g) pine nuts - raw or lightly toasted
2.25 cup (532.32 ml) chicken bone broth - low sodium preferred

Instructions

For the Rice Cooker Method:

Place 1 cup white rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse thoroughly under cool running water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and helps the rice cook evenly.
Transfer the rinsed rice to your rice cooker bowl. Add ½ cup pine nuts and stir to distribute evenly throughout the rice.
Pour 2.25 cup chicken bone broth into the rice cooker and stir well to combine.
Close the rice cooker lid and press start. The rice cooker will automatically switch to warm when the rice is done, which takes approximately 18 to 20 minutes.
Once the cooking cycle completes, let the rice rest in the cooker for 5 minutes with the lid closed. This allows any remaining moisture to absorb and the pine nuts to infuse their flavor throughout.

Notes

Meal Prep Tip: Make a double batch and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. This rice also freezes beautifully for up to 3 months. To reheat, add a splash of water and microwave covered for 2 to 3 minutes, or warm on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally.

Stovetop Method: If you don't have a rice cooker, use a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Bring the broth with rinsed rice and pine nuts to a boil, then stir once. Cover with a lid, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15 to 18 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let rest covered for 5 minutes before fluffing.
