Notes

Tips and Tricks

To save time, you can use pre-cut meat or vegetables.
Use a rice cooker to cook the rice separately before adding it to the pot with the vegetables and broth.
For a deeper flavor, brown the meat in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot.
Use a good quality Dutch oven or oven-safe pot with a tight-fitting lid to ensure even cooking.
