-a slice of butter or olive oil, not too much
-black pepper
-red pepper flakes
-soy sauce
This combination is how I make a bowl of white rice taste delicious on its own.

>olive oil and red pepper flakes
I like to mix red pepper flakes, a touch of rice vinegar (just barely enough to rehydrate the flakes,) pinch of salt, garlic, just enough olive oil to cover the flakes, and then mix it in a jar to make a sort of emulsion. I keep it in the fridge to use on rice, and noodles.

i like rice pudding. my mom made it a lot with leftover rice growing up. cinnamon, a little sugar(or honey), vanilla, and milk.

I have your solution anon, a very savory rice I've done several time myself. All you need is kosher salt and some unsalted butter

Everything bagel seasoning. And an egg.

>rice

>>18775534
A modest amount of cardamom before cooking if you're doing long-grain

>>18775534
Tempura chips and smelt roe mixed

>>18775534
boil & steam them with butter, bay leaves, cardamom pods, and cumin seeds

Make a simple broth from garlic, ginger, crushed chilis (like sambal oelek, sriracha, etc.), soy sauce, nori and canned tuna with enough water added to even out the flavour
if you can find dried bonito add some of that too
then pour the broth over rice
it's what I always make when I'm sick or hungover or just too lazy to make anything more involved

>>18775534
Get a jar of pickles from the olive isle, like red peppers or beets. Dried fruit like raisins or apricots are also good, same with sliced almonds. Feta is also nice. You can put the cooked rice in the microwave with your toppings and it helps to mix the flavors together. Also deenz are a classic.

>>18775534
get a rice cooker with a steam basket
add some carrots/broccoli
sesame seeds
sardines if you really like them
also

try poring a little bit of cooked olive oil from a pan into a spice mix. instant flavor town as the spices fry. dont need much oil, just enough to cover the spices. then add that to the rice.

>>18775880
Where do you live that stores have an "olive aisle"

>>18775534
The Japanese have a whole category of rice condiments to zizz up the rice in endless ways. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furikake

>>18776021
what kind of hellhole do you live in that your stores don't have an olive aisle?

>>18775534
I can eat microwaved white rice completely plain. I might add a squirt of sriracha or soy sauce if I have it. Anything crunchy is usually a good toss in like onions, cabbage, sugar snap peas, or corn chips.

Ohio (pbuh)

Pomegranate seeds

Butter and mustard oil is all you need
God i love it

>>18775534
Buy a bottle of lao gan ma (crisp or peanut variety) and put a spoonful on a bowl of rice

>>18775534
make tempered rice. Fry some kashmiri chillis, cinnamon sticks, cardamom and bay leaves until fragrant then pour over the freshly cooked rice

>>18775534
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1L5qBMtFXBs

the most important thing is to steam the rice, you can use a strainer for that. also don't overload it with all kinds of ingredients

furikake

Don't cook the rice in water, use some kind of stock instead. Or coconut milk.

>rice + scrambled eggs + friend chickend finely cut up + a bit of sweet and sour sauce

A lot of people like lao gan ma. I'm not really into it. Personally, I like to grill some small fish and eat them with rice, kim chi and miso soup when I'm in the mood for something light and simple.

Rice is a neutral tasting side dish. You can add whatever makes it match the main better.

>>18775534
Try leaving it outside uncovered for 6 hours and then eating it. It really enhances the flavor

>>18777349
this is the only answer

>>18775534
Egg Phuc Hu is tasty though

i use garlic, mint, and salt in my white rice.
bonus: look for epazote in mexican markets, add 3 sprigs to a cup of rice. good shit.

>>18775534
by chewing it with attentiveness

>cilantro
>lime
>salt
That is if youre doing something central american with it, but honestly the best way to make rice imo

butter in the pan
little bit of olive oil
heat on
add salt and pepper
cayenne in
paprika in
add red pepper flakes and freshly chopped garlic
squeeze half a lemon
take it off the heat before the garlic burns
pour it over the rice or put the rice in the pan and stir it around
sprinkle some thyme

basically cajun shrimp over rice minus the shrimp

>>18775534
Just make a simple pilav. Sweat onions or shallots in butter, add the rice and stir until tje rice is covered in oil and cook it in broth instead of plain water.

>>18775534
you can either do the following:
chicken broth instead of water
butter and italian seasoning
chinese light soy sauce
japanese rice seasoning packets
ketchup and turmeric powder (pic related)

>>18775534
six crushed cardamom pods
two star aniseeds
use chicken stock instead of water to boil
also wash the rice properly before cooking

>>18775534
OP I beg and impore you to try this. It's so goddamned good.

Hot & Spicy SPAM has kind of a vinegar taste (I think they literally just add Tabasco sauce) and it is out of this world delicious.
>cube it up
>fry em up in a skillet until slightly crispy
>toss into your rice
now SPAM is very salty so I use dark or low sodium soy sauce with this dish and it's sooo fucking good. anyone who's had SPAM with rice will attestt at how nice a pairing it is, but Hot & Spicy SPAM is next level.

>>18775534
Cook it in chicken broth, garlic and ginger.

Also Ghee mixed into rice is delicious.

>>18775534
Togarashi japanese spice blend will have bits of sesame, kelp flakes, chili, orange peel, etc. Sprinkle this on rice served with stir fry entrees like teriyaki.

Butter and salt, maybe some parsley, is old school southern side on basic long grain rice, and pretty nice on rice that is served with say red beans or gumbo zherbbes or else under a bowl of chili con carne to stretch out the leftover chili portion.

When making black beans or colombian style red beans, my rice pot will get a glug of EV flavorful olive oil in the cooking water, maybe like 1/2 diced onion, or a whole garlic clove too. Typically, I'll be using a short grain valencia rice for these nights.

When I dine in a Nicaraguan steak restaurant, the table will have 3 toppings available, pickled red onions, minced chimmichurri herbs and onions, and a red tomatoey oniony relish. I ladle these out over their rice which has a little bit of bay leaf flavor in their water.

A good Tbsp of chili crisp on top of plain rice, will bring in a bit of soy sauce flavor, minced peanuts along with that fried garlic and chili flake crunch. Never too hot for me. There are brands that feature habaneros and jalapeno crisps now. Zhoug paste will add some more umami.

>>18775534
Hey OP
I see alit of anons saying to add butter and salt or something liekthat . I think they are trolling you because mine doctor told me both of those ingreedints are bad for you. You should try Mrs. Dash and Country Crock instead, that's what I use because Mrs Dash has so salt and of my lactose intolerantces .

Thanks Derek

>>18777349
where do i get thsi stuff?
if not irl, where can i get it online as a filthy euro?

i cant find it anywhere irl and all the online places are very expensive

>>18775672
>soya sauce sesame seeds
dios mio...

>>18775534
Some time ago I started using this to fancy up my rice, it works for just about anything you might use the rice for including eating it plain. Furikake also works for otherwise plain rice.

>>18775534
buy rice seasoning
called “chi azo kay”, at least that is the bastardized English name
many types and mixes available but personally like the toasted sesame seed and salt chiazokay.
dried plum is a common ingredient, but personally do not like it
can get a small jar, about 8 ounces, for about five bucks at asain markets and again, huge variety available
depending on how often you eat rice, a jar will last a very long time as it is added to rice in small amounts.

>>18782528
also called “furry cocky” in English… not sure which is correct (furikake or chiazokay). pic rel of jars and of rice with seasoning

>>18775534
cum

>>18782541
again, seasoning is very flavorful and not much is needed. I use about half of what is shown in pic

Imagine being so fucking lazy and braindead you need to ask for advice on making plain rice not plain. It's plain nigga, just add something to it. God I fucking hate this board.

>>18782541
It's just seaweed and sesame seeds, wtf?

shrimp/okra gumbo without a roux base

if you get furikake, get shiso furikake
its basically crack, i could survive eating only white rice with that shit sprinkled on it

ginger
turmeric (for appealing the piss color, but it will stain plastic if your rice cooker is shit)
chicken stock

>>18782481
>beef bouillon
This anon is right. But I like to keep enough spices/blends to ensure that I can eat the same main item every day without getting bored by changing things up. All I use are:
Granulated beef bouillon
Salt
Garlic powder
Tabasco sauce

I may swap out the beef for chicken, though, since it seems to be getting a little too expensive these days, and I like my bouillon to taste like money
