My Homemade Rice-A-Roni Recipe

Melt butter in skillet. Add the broken up pasta and saute until noodles are brown. Do not allow to burn.

Add the onion and garlic, saute for a minute or two. Add the rice and toss to coat. Season with seasoned sea salt. Add enough water to cover rice and be about 1/2 inch over the top. Add broth packet and stir See Photo . Bring to a boil, reduce heat, then cover and simmer on low until rice is tender and all the liquid as evaporated (about 20 minutes).

Remove from heat, remove lid and cover rice with a clean dish cloth. Put the lid back on and leave to rest for 15 minutes. Remove lid, add herbs and soy (just a little) and fluff with a fork (you'll be amazed how much flavor boost the tiny amount of soy gives!)
