The secret to perfect rice: what hotels do that you might not

Cooking rice may seem simple, but there's a little secret that turns ordinary rice into something extraordinary. If you've only ever added water, you're missing out on an easy trick that many hotels use to get fluffy flavorful rice. Here's how to achieve restaurant-quality rice at home.

The secret ingredient: broth and flavors

The key to delicious rice is to use broth instead of plain water  and  add a few aromatic ingredients. This not only enriches the flavour, but also improves the texture.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup rice (any type)

• 2 cups broth (chicken, vegetable or beef)

• 1 tbsp olive oil or butter

• 1 small onion, finely chopped

• 1–2 cloves garlic, pressed or finely chopped

• salt and pepper to taste

• Optional: bay leaf, fresh herbs such as parsley or thyme, or a little white wine

Instructions:

1. Rinse the rice: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents excessive sticking.

2. Flavor base: In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened and fragrant. If using bay leaves or fresh herbs, add them at this stage for added flavor.

3. Toast the rice: Add the washed rice to the aromatic mixture. Stir for 2–3 minutes to lightly toast it. This will slightly enhance the nutty flavor.

4. Add the stock: Pour in the stock instead of the water. The usual rice:liquid ratio is 1:2, but you can adjust it according to the type of rice. For more depth of flavor, you can also add a little white wine.

5. Season and cook: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover tightly. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.

6. Rest and fluff: Remove the pot from the heat and leave covered for about 5 minutes. This will steam the rice and make it fluffier. Finally, fluff it with a fork to separate the grains.

Enjoy the perfect rice

With broth and aromatic ingredients, you'll add layers of flavor that elevate even the simplest dish. The method is versatile and works with white, brown, jasmine, and other types of rice. This small change makes a big difference and turns the side dish into the star of the table.
