Simple and delicious broccoli rice

 

                     

White rice can quickly become a more complex and distinctive part of any meal with a little amount of extra effort by adding various seasonings, experimenting with cooking liquids, and attempting other methods of flavouring.

Some like to add butter and salt, which can help make the rice fluffier and richer. Some add pandan leaves to the rice's cooking liquid to make it much more fragrant. Some like to substitute water with chicken broth to cook the rice. Some add meat to rice just like Chinese sausage fried rice.

Today I would like to share with you how to make this delicious broccoli rice. My family and I frequently consume broccoli as a vegetable. Broccoli is a vegetable high in nutrients and protein. It has a delicate texture, is sweet and delectable, and is simple to digest. Eating for kids can boost immunity, support kids' growth, and development, and be very good for maintaining healthy bone growth, protecting eyesight, and enhancing memory.

Despite how nutritious broccoli is, kids just don't like to eat it! Do not panic; this broccoli rice is a tasty and easy way to reward children who do not eat veggies.

These broccoli rice balls are not only easy but also aesthetically pleasing and delicious. When combined with rice, it not only makes the stomach feel fuller but also adds extra nourishment that is very good for our health.

Once all the ingredients are prepared, simply combine them with the cooked rice which can then be eaten immediately. If you want to make it in a fancy way to catch the younger people’s heart. Rice can be moulded anyway you choose. I served my rice in a rectangular shape with chicken floss or black sesame as a garnish.
