Turmeric turns it yellow which is cool, plus it's super good for you. Some people add star anise but I don't feel like it really helps it much.

Depends, what are you going for? For my bog standard long grain rice I usually use bay leaf and pepper corns. If I'm making something Indian I might add Cardamom pods, if it's Persian it's saffron (add the saffron at the end after blooming it, do not boil the saffron with the rice).

Cook it in either:
1) Chicken Broth. This is customary for Hainan chicken.
2) Coconut Milk. More southeast asian, goes great with a curry.

toast rice with vermicelli (1-2cm sticks) in sesame oil until the vermicelli browns
let the pan cool a little and add your (hot) water (adding water to a hot pan is a bad idea)

I think you could use some turmeric. all of your misguided anger is causing inflammation, and its likely a self-reinforcing cycle

my dad would always make spanish rice rice with onions and mild herdez salsa(substitute 50% of the water with the salsa. I've tried better salsas, and they ddont work as well with this method). just throw it all in at the start and its a great side dish
