Ingredients

  • 2 cups uncooked long-grain white rice
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/4-1/2 ground cayenne pepper, optional
  • 4 1/2 cups chicken stock/broth
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 cup finely chopped fresh parsley (or 2 tbsp dried)
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. 1

    Rinse the rice under cold water a few times until it runs mostly clear. Set aside to drain while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

  2. 2

    Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the washed rice and sauté, stirring often for 5-7 minutes, until lightly browned.

  3. 3

    Add the onion, paprika, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and cayenne (if using). If using dried parsley, add now. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Pour in the stock and soy sauce, stir well, and bring to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until the seasoned rice is tender and the liquid is fully absorbed.

  5. 5

    Turn off the heat and let the rice sit for 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Add the fresh parsley (if using) and fluff with a fork to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste, serve hot, and enjoy!
