Add a small handful of cumin seeds to your batch. It imparts a wonderful aroma and taste to it for such a simple addition.

I just make sure I wash the rice enough times and put the correct amount of rice and water to my rice cooker. And when it's done I let it set for like 10 minutes at least before I fluff it.

Also buy better quality of rice if I want a better end product.

But there are many ways to cook rice nicely, like persian steamed rice or at work we got some really nice rice with the oven.

I love rice! My perfect rice is long grain jasmine cooked slightly al dente. I rinse it several times and then use a rice cooker with slightly less water than the lines indicate. Let it sit a few minutes before fluffing it.

For plain white rice, I just use a rice cooker with basmati and put in my soy sauce and the like.

For fried rice, ALWAYS let it sit in the fridge over night after steaming it, and be sure to break it up as much as possible before frying it.

Make sure to buy good rice. I decided to get the store brand rice. It's just rice, right? Wow there is a noticeable difference in taste, also I got sick of picking random black things out of it while I was washing it.

I love sticky rice. You're supposed to steam it, but I just soak it for 40 minutes and then cook it in a rice cooker. Comes out alright.

If you have an instant pot (they're 100% worth it imo) just follow this: https://greenhealthycooking.com/instant-pot-rice/

I use this method because I don't have a rice cooker and it works really well.
