For a richer flavor, brown the butter slightly before adding the noodles. Rinsing the rice removes excess starch, resulting in a less sticky pilaf. If you don't have bouillon cubes, you can use chicken bouillon powder or adjust the amount of salt to taste. This pilaf is excellent with roasted vegetables, grilled meats, or as a bed for stews.
