Recipes Tips
If you want to make your rice roni extra creamy and rich, try adding a dollop of sour cream or cream cheese to the saucepan when the rice is finished cooking. You can also add cooked chicken or shrimp to the dish for a complete meal.
To add extra flavor to your rice roni, try toasting the rice and vermicelli in a dry saucepan before adding the liquid. This will give the dish a nutty, toasted flavor that is delicious.
If you are short on time, you can use a rice cooker or instant pot to cook your rice roni. Just follow the instructions on the box to adjust the amount of liquid and cooking time accordingly.
