Rinse your rice under cold water to remove excess starch. This helps the rice cook better and not get too sticky.
Add Flavor to the Rice:
In a pot, heat the butter or olive oil over medium heat. If you're using garlic, sauté it in the butter or oil for about 1 minute, just until it becomes fragrant.
Season the Rice:
Add the rice to the pot and stir to coat it in the oil or butter. This step infuses the rice with flavor from the start.
Cook with Broth or Water:
Pour in the water or broth. Broth adds a savory, richer taste compared to water. Add salt and any additional seasonings or herbs you like. You can customize this step based on your preference. For instance, turmeric adds a vibrant yellow color and subtle flavor, while cumin gives an earthy taste.
