Sunwhite® White Medium-Grain Calrose Rice

Sunwhite® Calrose Rice is an oval medium-grain white rice known for its quality and taste. When cooked, Calrose rice becomes soft and tender with a tendency to stick together due to its succulent grains, allowing it to retain its moisture. Sunwhite® Calrose Rice is used in dishes that require a bit more creaminess as well as a side dish to compliment almost every meal. Its versatility means that it can be used in everything from starters and soups to desserts. For best results, rinse this rice with cold water. Drain well before cooking. All rice is naturally gluten-free. 4kg and 9kg packages are available in Jordan only.

Method

  • Preheat oven to 200°C.

  • Whisk together flour and 1 cup of milk in a small bowl until smooth. Bring the remaining 3 cups of milk to a boil in a skillet over medium-high, stirring often.

  • Reduce heat to medium, and gradually whisk in flour mixture until smooth. Return to a boil over medium-high. Boil, stirring constantly, until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.

  • Stir rice and broccoli into the milk mixture until combined.

  • Cook over medium-high, stirring occasionally, until broccoli is bright green, about 2 minutes.

  • Add chicken, Cheddar, salt, and pepper to the rice mixture. Stir until the cheese is melted. Remove from heat.

  • Stir together panko and oil in a small bowl; sprinkle evenly over the chicken mixture.

  • Bake in preheated oven until casserole is bubbly, about 15 minutes. Increase oven temperature to broil until top is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.

  • Remove from oven, and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
