Tips:

  • Use low-sodium ingredients: This includes using unsalted butter or margarine, low-sodium soy sauce, and reduced-sodium chicken broth. You can also use fresh herbs and spices to add flavor without adding salt.
  • Rinse your rice before cooking: This will help to remove some of the starch from the rice, which can help to reduce the amount of salt that it absorbs.
  • Cook your rice in a lot of water: This will help to dilute the salt content of the rice. You can also use a rice cooker, which will automatically cook the rice in the correct amount of water.
  • Flavor your rice with herbs, spices, and other ingredients: This will help to add flavor to the rice without adding salt. Some good options include garlic, onion, ginger, turmeric, cumin, and coriander.
  • Serve your rice with healthy sides: This will help to balance out the flavor of the rice and make it a more complete meal. Some good options include grilled vegetables, steamed fish, or tofu.
