It's an affordable and reliable cupboard staple, yet plain rice can swiftly become rather tedious when boiled in nothing but water. Because I rarely eat plain rice - I make this super tasty version instead. Sparing just five extra minutes can transform your rice into something far richer and more savoury — and the results are so impressive you may never settle for plain rice again. Next, melt the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat and, once it begins to sizzle, add the rice. Finally, run a fork through the rice to fluff it up, and your considerably more flavoursome rice is ready to serve.
