Cooking rice may seem simple, but achieving soft, fluffy, and flavorful rice like the ones served in top hotels and restaurants requires a few secrets. Let’s explore these hotel-style rice cooking techniques that will elevate your rice game and make it taste incredible.
Hotel-Style Rice Cooking Secrets
1. Toast the Rice Before Cooking
In hotels, chefs go the extra mile by lightly toasting the rice in oil or butter before adding water. This simple step brings out a nutty, rich flavor and keeps the grains separate, ensuring a more enjoyable texture and aroma.
To do this, heat 1 tablespoon of butter or oil in a pan, add dry rice, and stir for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden.
2. Use Broth Instead of Just Water
