Notes

  • Use gluten-free spaghetti noodles: I've found that using gluten-free vermicelli noodles, they fall apart.
  • Make sure to cook the rice in chicken stock: This gives that comforting flavor found in the box mixes.
  • Using a low sodium chicken stock: You don't want your rice to end up too salty.
  • Following a gluten-free meal plan: look for gluten-free chicken stock.
