## **The Hotel Secret to Perfect Rice**
Instead of just **boiling rice in water**, hotels use **flavor-enhancing ingredients** to elevate the texture and taste. Here’s what they do:
### **1. Use Broth Instead of Water**
Swapping plain water for **chicken, vegetable, or beef broth** adds a subtle richness and depth of flavor. You’ll notice your rice tastes more **savory and aromatic**—just like it does at high-end restaurants!
### **2. Add a Spoonful of Butter or Oil**
A small **knob of butter** or a drizzle of **olive oil** makes the rice grains less sticky and adds a slight silkiness to every bite. This is a **must-do step** in hotel kitchens!
### **3. Use a Bay Leaf or Whole Spices**
Professional chefs often add **a bay leaf, a cinnamon stick, or cardamom pods** to the pot while the rice cooks. This gives it a subtle fragrance that enhances any dish!
### **4. Rinse the Rice Before Cooking**
Hotels always rinse their rice thoroughly before cooking to remove excess starch. This prevents the grains from clumping together and ensures they cook up light and fluffy.
