Notes

  • Use parboiled rice for the best texture.
  • Don’t skimp on the butter—it brings rich flavor.
  • If using fresh mushrooms, sauté them first for extra depth.
  • Toast the almonds for more crunch and nuttiness.
  • Add green onions at the end to keep them bright and fresh.
  • Let the rice rest 5–10 minutes before serving for fluffier results.
  • A deep casserole dish helps prevent spills and cooks evenly.
  • Taste before adding salt—the broth may be salty enough.
  • Instant Pot Version: Add all ingredients except green onions to the pot. Cook on Manual High Pressure for 4 minutes. Let pressure release naturally for 5 minutes, then quick release. Stir in green onions and serve.
