⏱️ 3 min - 2
In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of vegetable broth and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
⏱️ 2 min - 3
Once boiling, stir in 1/2 cup of instant white rice. Cover the saucepan with a lid, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until all the liquid has been absorbed.
