But there’s one small problem: Plain rice tends to be bland and sometimes you want a dish that will really spice up your taste buds.

This method has changed the way I make rice
What do you do when you want the reliability and heartiness of rice but the yum factor of a more outgoing dish? You spice things up a bit of course. Below we’ve got 12 suggestions for giving your plain rice a little (or a lot) more flavor many of which involve ingredients or tools you might already have in your kitchen.
Toasting your rice before cooking deepens its natural nutty flavor and that alone can satisfy your craving for extra flavor. This is the tip for you if you simply want a more pleasant complexity to your rice not a tweak that will change the entire flavor profile of your meal.
The most basic way to toast rice is to pour the desired amount into a dry pan and cook it over medium heat for about five minutes. Be aware that the grains can burn easily so be aware of your senses during this process. Look for signs that the rice is turning a light brown color and keep your nose open for a nutty warm aroma.
