Hi Imma is it okay to use dried herbs and how much ?
Yes, you can. The ratio is 1 teaspoon of dried herb for 1 tablespoon of fresh. You can replace the 3 sprigs of time with a scant teaspoon of dried, and a ½ teaspoon of dried parsley to replace the sprig. Hope that helps.
Can you use the stock to make rice?
Absolutely.
