It is a big mistake to add only water to cook rice: let me explain to you the secret that hotels use

1 cup rice
2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
1 small onion or clove garlic (minced)
A pinch of salt
Optional: bay leaf or cinnamon stick for added flavor.

Directions:
Rinse the rice with cold water until the water runs clear.
In a medium saucepan, heat the butter or oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion or garlic and sauté until soft and fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Add the rinsed rice and broth. Add a pinch of salt and any optional spices, such as bay leaf or cinnamon stick.

Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer the rice for 15 to 20 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed.
Turn off the heat and let the rice sit with the lid on for 5 to 10 minutes until cooked through. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Summary
By using broth, butter, and aromatic spices like garlic or onions, you can transform simple rice into a delicious, fluffy dish worthy of a hotel restaurant. These simple secrets will make your rice tastier and more satisfying than ever!

Try this method and you’ll never cook rice with just water again.
