I subbed brown rice because its glycemic index is significantly better than white rice. I used a quick rice tho, which I didn’t think about until after I bought a package of rice which takes almost an hour to cook. I know this dish cooks for an hour, but will it turn out ok if I use the rice’s interchangeably and follow the directions the same way?
