- Take off the foil, fluff the rice with a fork, and garnish with green onions if you’d like.

Notes
- Flavor Control: Using low-sodium broth keeps the salt in check, so you’re not overpowering the rice.
- Rice Texture: Fluffing the rice after resting is key—it keeps the grains separate and avoids any clumping.
- Garlic Boost: Fresh garlic is best here! It gives the rice a more vibrant, authentic flavor than powdered garlic.
- Fresh Veggies Work Too: If you prefer fresh veggies over frozen, just cut them small so they cook through.
- Soy Sauce Finish: A drizzle of soy sauce after baking can add a bit of extra richness.
- Protein Options: Add cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu if you want to make it a heartier main dish.
- Topping Ideas: A sprinkle of sesame seeds on top can add a nice crunch and boost the flavor.
