Instructions
1. Prepare the ingredients
Measure and prepare all the ingredients: rice, broth, butter/oil, aromatics, spices and herbs.
2. Use broth instead of water
Replace the water with rich broth to improve the flavor and aroma.
3. Toast the rice
In a large pot, toast the rice with butter or oil over medium heat until lightly golden.
4. Add aromatics and spices
Sauté the herbs with the rice until they are soft and fragrant.
Add the spices and herbs, stirring to coat the rice evenly.
5. Add the broth
Pour in the broth (2 cups for every cup of rice). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
Cover and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
6. Rest
Remove from heat and let the rice rest covered for 10 minutes to finish steaming.
7. Fluff and serve
Gently stir with a fork to separate the grains.
Serve hot and enjoy its rich and aromatic flavor.
Professional advice
Change the broths to match your dish (e.g., chicken broth for poultry, vegetable broth for vegetarian meals).
Adjust the spices to your liking: start with a little and gradually increase the flavor.
This method adds depth, aroma, and restaurant quality to your everyday rice.
