- Add a Little Butter or Oil
Hotels often add a small amount of butter or olive oil to the rice for added richness and texture. This also helps keep the grains separated and prevents the rice from sticking together.
How to Do It:
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter or olive oil per cup of rice when you start cooking.
- Include Aromatics
To boost the flavor even more, hotels often sauté aromatics like garlic, onions, or shallots before cooking the rice. These aromatics release a wonderful fragrance and add layers of flavor to the dish.
