2 tbsp. butter
1 (10 oz.) can chicken or beef broth, boiling
3/4 c. water, boiling
4 green onions, chopped
2 tbsp. soy sauce

Measure rice into ovenproof casserole that has a lid. Place into oven set at 325 degrees. Roast for 20 minutes or until rice is toasted and golden. Remove from oven.

Add butter to rice, and stir until melted. Pour boiling broth and water over rice; stir. Cover. Return to oven; bake 30 minutes or until rice is done and has absorbed all of the liquid. Stir in finely chopped green onions, soy sauce, and herb of your choice.
