Tips:

- Use a good quality chicken or vegetable broth for the best flavor. - Be patient when adding the broth - it's important to add it slowly to allow the rice to absorb it. - Stir the rice constantly to prevent it from sticking to the pan. - If you don't have Arborio rice, you can use any other short-grain rice. However, the texture may be slightly different. - Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove with a splash of broth or water to loosen it up.
