This kitchen trick can infuse rice with a deeper aroma and flavor, because the chicken stock is rich in herbs and spices, making the original plain rice more delicious and satisfying.

In addition to enhancing the flavor, chicken stock can also increase nutritional value, containing protein, vitamins and minerals. It is a simple and healthy way to add points. Best of all, this cooking method adds depth and flavor to the rice without taking any extra time or money.

If you don’t eat meat or are vegetarians, you can also use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock, which can also achieve the flavor enhancement effect.

How to cook rice with chicken stock

1. Pour the rice into the pot and add cold water in the usual proportion, but this time add a chicken stock cube or ready-made chicken stock at the same time.

2. After heating to boiling, stir evenly to prevent the rice grains from sticking into a ball.

3. Cover the pot and cook over low heat until the rice becomes soft.

4. According to the recommended cooking time on the package, it is usually about 15 to 20 minutes.

With just a few simple steps, rice can be filled with aroma and flavor.

Tips: Add a little butter and spices

If you want to make the taste richer, you can add a little butter when cooking the rice. The cream will coat the rice grains, making it smoother and fluffier. Alternatively, try adding spices like minced garlic or rosemary to add dimension to the rice.

Vaughan added: "Chicken stock can make rice more moist and salty. It is such a simple substitution. Family and friends will definitely be curious about how you can cook such delicious rice!"
