All recipes look delicious! However how would I modify them so I can use brown basmati, jasmine or converted rice so meat and veggies are not overcooked and dry and rice still hard?

So this is not possible with most meat and rice recipes because most meats cook in 4-10 minutes but brown rice takes 22 minutes plus the 10mins nor to cook. You may want to try parboiled Brown rice, although I can’t speak to water and timing on it yet.
