Instructions
Prepare Ingredients
Measure 2 cups of white rice.
Choose and measure 4 cups of rich broth (beef, vegetable, or chicken).
Gather butter or oil, aromatics, spices, and herbs.
Switch Water for Broth
Use broth instead of water for cooking the rice—this is the key to deeper flavor.
Toast the Rice
In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of butter or oil over medium heat.
Add the rice and stir frequently for 3–5 minutes until lightly golden.
Add Aromatics and Spices
Stir in the chopped aromatics and cook until fragrant, about 2–3 minutes.
Add 1 teaspoon of spices and 1 tablespoon of herbs.
Perfect the Liquid-to-Rice Ratio
Pour in 4 cups of broth (2 cups of broth for every cup of rice).
Bring to a boil.
Cook the Rice
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the liquid is absorbed (about 15–18 minutes for white rice).
Adjust cook time if using brown rice.
Let It Rest
Remove from heat.
Keep covered and let the rice sit for 10 minutes—this finishes steaming and improves texture.
Fluff with a Fork
Remove the lid and gently fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains.
Serve and Enjoy
Serve warm alongside your favorite dishes.
