Is your rice sticky? With this trick, you'll achieve perfect flavor.

Namely, by toasting the rice in a little butter or olive oil before adding water, you will achieve a perfect flavor. Additionally, it is recommended to cook it in chicken or vegetable broth. This can be leftovers from homemade broth or a bouillon cube. Emma Christensen, who runs the food blog The Kitchn, shared another tip. "I've noticed that using 100% chicken broth can make the rice sticky. I usually use a mixture of broth and water in a 50/50 ratio. That adds a rich flavor," she explained. Her final suggestion was to season the rice with whatever you are already cooking, such as some of the same spices you use for the main dish. She also mentioned that she almost always adds a bay leaf.
