3 Tbsp dried parsley flakes
2 Tbsp instant beef or chicken granules
2 Tbsp minced dried onion

  • Rinse the rice thoroughly: This helps remove excess starch, preventing the rice from becoming sticky.
  • Use the right amount of water: The general rule of thumb is 1 cup of rice to 1.5 cups of water. Adjust the amount of water depending on the type of rice you are using and your desired consistency.
  • Season the rice before cooking: This allows the flavors to infuse into the rice as it cooks. Common seasonings include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and herbs like parsley or cilantro.
  • Cook the rice properly: Follow the cooking instructions on the rice package or use a rice cooker. Generally, you will bring the rice and water to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and all the water has been absorbed.
  • Let the rice rest before serving: Once the rice is cooked, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before fluffing with a fork. This allows the rice to finish absorbing any remaining moisture and prevents it from becoming mushy.
