1

Find a level spot on the burner for the pan.

2

Heat the pan on medium-high heat.

3

Add green beans and peppers to the center of the pan to get color on the ingredients.

4

Ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed in the pan to avoid crowding the rice.

5

6

Taste the broth for salt to ensure it flavors the rice.

7

Sprinkle in the rice evenly, avoiding dumping it all at once.

8

Start a 20-minute timer and let it simmer hard for the first 4-5 minutes to control evaporation.

9

After 4-5 minutes, reduce to a gentle simmer for the remaining 10 minutes.
