Elevate Your Rice: The Restaurant Industry’s Best-Kept Secret
Instructions
1. Prepare Ingredients
Measure and prepare all ingredients: rice, broth, butter/oil, aromatics, spices, and herbs.
2. Use Broth Instead of Water
Replace water with rich broth to enhance 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 aromatics with the rice until soft and fragrant.
Add the spices and herbs, stirring to coat the rice evenly.
5. Add the Broth
Pour in the broth (2 cups per 1 cup of rice). Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Cover and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
6. Rest
Remove from heat and let the rice sit, covered, for 10 minutes to finish steaming.
7. Fluff and Serve
Fluff gently with a fork to separate the grains.
Serve warm and enjoy the rich, aromatic flavor.
Pro Tips
Switch broths to match your dish (e.g. chicken broth for poultry, vegetable broth for vegetarian meals).
Adjust spices to your taste — start small and build flavor.
This method adds depth, aroma, and restaurant-level quality to your everyday rice.
