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.🍚

4. Use the Right Ratio

• Restaurants are meticulous about the ratio of liquid to rice. Typically, it’s about 2 cups of water or broth to 1 cup of rice for white rice, and a little more for brown rice. But they often adjust this based on the type of rice and the desired texture.

5. Let it Rest

• After the rice is cooked, they don’t serve it right away. Instead, they remove it from the heat, keep the lid on, and let it sit for about 10 minutes. This allows the rice to steam and the grains to firm up, ensuring the rice isn’t too wet or sticky.

6. Fluff with a Fork

• Lastly, fluffing the rice with a fork (not stirring with a spoon) helps separate the grains without making the rice mushy.

By incorporating these techniques, you’ll find that your rice is not just a side dish but a star on the table, full of flavor and with a perfect texture that your family and friends will love!
