Add the rice and stir for 2 minutes to toast it lightly and coat each grain with oil.

Stir in the soy sauce and tomato sauce until well combined.

Pour in the hot broth (avoid using the full bouillon cube to prevent oversalting). Stir gently.

💡 Chef's Tip
For extra depth of flavor, deglaze the pot with a splash of dry white wine before adding the broth.
