Adding only water to cook rice is a common oversight



 Adding only water to cook rice is a common oversight. Allow me to share with you the secret technique used by restaurants to enhance its flavor.🍚

1 Use Broth Instead of Water

Swap out water for chicken, vegetable, or beef broth. Broth adds rich, savory flavors to rice that water can't match.

2.Toast the Rice

Before adding liquid, toast rice in oil or butter until slightly golden. This adds a nutty flavor and keeps grains separate and fluffy.

3 Add Aromatics

Sauté onions, garlic, or shallots in the pot before adding rice. Add herbs like thyme, rosemary, or bay leaves, and spices like cinnamon, cardamom, or star anise while rice cooks for fragrance and complexity.

4 Use the Right Ratio

The ratio of liquid to rice is crucial. Typically, it’s about 2 cups of water or broth to 1 cup of white rice, and a bit more for brown rice, but adjust based on rice type and desired texture.

5 Let it Rest

After cooking, let rice sit for about 10 minutes with the lid on. This steams the rice, firming up grains for the perfect texture.

6.Fluff with a Fork

Use a fork to fluff rice, not a spoon, to separate grains without making rice mushy. These techniques will elevate your rice, making it a flavorful and perfectly textured dish that your loved ones will enjoy!
