Add the long grain white rice (1.5 cups), vegetable broth (3 cups) and vegan cream (1.5 cups). Stir and bring to a boil, then cover, lower the heat and simmer for 12 minutes. Start 12m timer

After 12 minutes, add the broccoli florets (4 cups) and stir it in. If the mixture doesn't have any liquid left, add about vegetable broth (1 cup) (or even water). Cover and simmer for 8 minutes. Start 8m timer

Uncover and add vegan shredded cheddar cheese (1 cup) and stir it in, then sprinkle the rest of the vegan shredded cheddar cheese (1 cup) on top. Cover and simmer until the cheese on top has melted and the broccoli is tender.
