It is a big mistake to only add water to cook rice. Let me teach you the secret that the hotel does

Adding Liquids and Rice:
Pour in the broth or seasoned water into the saucepan.
Add your rinsed rice to the pot and stir briefly to mix everything well.
Boiling and Simmering:
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer. The rice will absorb all the flavors from the broth and aromatics as it cooks.
Cook according to the time specified for the type of rice you are using (typically 18-20 minutes for white rice and 40-45 minutes for brown rice).
Finishing Touches:
Once the rice is cooked, turn off the heat and let it sit, covered, for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the rice to steam further and become fluffy.
Fluff the rice with a fork before serving to separate the grains and incorporate any remaining flavors evenly.

Additional Tips:

Variety: Experiment with different types of rice (like basmati, jasmine, or black rice) to enjoy various flavors and textures.
Cooking in Bulk: Restaurants often cook rice in large batches. To mimic this, cook a larger amount and use appropriate proportions of rice to liquid to maintain the quality.

By incorporating these elements, you can transform your home-cooked rice into a dish that rivals those in restaurants. Each ingredient and step adds layers of flavor and aroma that elevate the humble rice into something special.
