Chop the scallions and parsley leaves. Afterwards, take the garlic cloves and mince them well. Place the parsley and scallions in a separate dish from the garlic.
Cut the parmesan in half. Hold the cheese firmly in one hand and use the largest holes on the grater to shred it into thin, long strips. Place it in a small dish.
Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic to the pan and cook for an additional 4 minutes.
Combine one cup of rice with the melted butter. Mix everything well. Then add the vegetable broth, water, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, place a lid on the saucepan and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. After removing the lid, sprinkle shredded Parmesan cheese, chopped scallions, and parsley on top. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Take the pan off the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes. Serve the rice in a lovely bowl and top the dish with the remaining parsley or Parmesan cheese.

If you want to try a different type of rice other than white rice, there are many alternatives that offer a range of flavors, textures, and health benefits. One good option is brown rice, which is healthier than white rice because it has minimal processing and retains its nutrient-rich outer layer. It has a distinctive nutty flavor and a firm texture.
