To prepare, you typically combine the contents of the package with a specified amount of water and butter or oil in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for a set amount of time until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. Stirring occasionally helps ensure even cooking and prevents sticking. The sauce will thicken as it cooks, coating the rice and broccoli.
