PERFECT WHITE RICE
It is possible to make perfectly fluffy white rice on the stovetop. Sauteing the rice first helps keep the rice grains separate. Keeping the pot covered for the entire cooking time traps the steam which is necessary for properly cooking the rice, and is very important. The last 5 minutes off the heat allow the rice to finish in the residual steam, without burning the bottom.

14 WAYS TO ADD MORE FLAVOR TO WHITE RICE - TASTING TABLE
From tastingtable.com
Author Will SolomonPublished Jan 23, 2023
- Use butter and salt. One of the most basic ways to add a little extra flavor to plain white rice is pretty simple and can often easily be done with ingredients you already have at home.
- Incorporate bay leaves. Bay leaves are a somewhat strange spice. They are often invaluable in soups, curries, and countless other dishes as they certainly impart a distinct flavor.
- Spice up your rice. Bay leaves aren't the only way to add complexity and flavor to rice through spices. In fact, there are a limitless number of additions you can try, and that includes making your own blends and figuring out what best suits you and the meal that you're making.
- Substitute water with chicken broth. Who says rice needs to be cooked in water? It turns out the cooking liquid you choose can have a dramatic effect on the rice's overall flavor, and chicken broth is one of the simplest substitutions you can make for the water in the rice-cooking process.
- Use coconut milk. Chicken broth and other broths are not the only cooking liquid substitutions you can make for rice. Coconut milk is another fantastic and unique choice for rice.
- Add meat to rice. One reason rice can sometimes start to feel boring is that it's pretty basic on its own. But white rice does not have to be cooked solo.
- Cook rice with orange juice. It might sound a little strange, but there is one other liquid that can add some pretty interesting and unexpected flavors to white rice: Orange juice.
- Make Spanish rice. If you do not have the time to make a complex rice dish like paella, you can still do something very similar with basic white rice at home.
- Make fried rice. Rice isn't necessarily done when it's "done." If you have cooked steamed rice or even day-old rice sitting in the fridge, frying it, either on its own or with vegetables, meat, or other items, can give it a flavorful second life.
- Add in cheese. Risotto is a creamy Italian rice dish that calls for arborio rice, which is cooked slowly in stock to make the rice extremely rich. Whether you intend to make "true" risotto or not, you can add cheese to regular white rice to make it creamy and delicious, almost akin to a rice-based version of mac and cheese.
