Cook gently over low heat, stirring, for about 5 minutes, without browning.
Add about 1/2 cup of the hot broth and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is absorbed, 5 to 10 minutes.
Add another 1/2 cup hot broth, repeating slow cooking and absorption process.
Add remaining hot broth gradually, stirring continuously, then continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender.
