  • Season the rice: Add salt or bouillon cubes to enhance the flavor of the rice.
  • Add herbs and spices: Incorporate a variety of herbs and spices to create flavorful and aromatic rice dishes.
  • Cook the rice properly: Follow the cooking instructions carefully to achieve perfectly cooked rice. Use a tight-fitting lid to trap steam and prevent the rice from drying out.
  • Let the rice rest: After cooking, let the rice rest for a few minutes before fluffing it with a fork. This allows the rice to absorb any remaining moisture and become fluffy.
