This recipe is a modern twist on a classic almond rice dish, offering a flavorful and healthier alternative.
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until melted.
Using unsalted butter allows you to control the salt level in the dish.
Add the brown rice to the skillet and stir to coat the grains evenly with the butter.
Toasting the rice enhances its nutty flavor.
Pour the vegetable stock into the skillet and bring to a boil.
Ensure the stock is hot to maintain the cooking temperature.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the rice simmer until the liquid is absorbed, about 40 minutes.
Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to ensure even steaming.
Stir in the sliced almonds, chopped green onions, and soy sauce.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the rice grains.
Serve the almond rice warm, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
