Tips:
- Use a good quality rice. A medium-grain rice, like basmati or jasmine rice, will give you the best results.
- Rinse the rice before cooking. This will remove the starch and help the rice cook evenly.
- Use a ratio of 1 cup of rice to 1 3/4 cups of liquid. This will give you perfectly cooked rice that is not too dry or too mushy.
- Add some aromatics to the rice. This could include things like garlic, onion, bell pepper, or jalapeño peppers. You can also add some spices, like cumin, chili powder, or paprika.
- Let the rice rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the rice to absorb all of the flavors and become even more delicious.
