Orange Rice

Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the rice, stirring constantly until lightly toasted and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Pour the boiling chicken broth and fresh orange juice over the toasted rice, stirring once to combine evenly.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 15-18 minutes.

Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the rice to finish steaming.

Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the grated orange peel, sliced scallions, and chopped fresh parsley.

Season to taste with fresh ground pepper and serve warm.
