Tips & Notes:
You can use chicken bone broth, chicken stock, or water. Here you'll learn how to prepare chicken bone broth (more economical than chicken broth). Chicken bone broth gives this dish more flavor and umami.
The ratio of white rice to water, is usually 1:1 = 1 cup rice: 1 cup water.
Make sure you don't close the lid completely but leave a gap open so that the rice soup doesn't overflow.
