Adding only water when cooking rice is a big mistake. I will share with you the secret that hotels use.

Simmer: When the water is boiling, lower the heat, cover the pot with a lid, and let it cook gently for 15-18 minutes until the water is absorbed and the rice is soft.

Rest: Take the rice off the heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes.

Remove the bay leaf from the rice, stir it with a fork, add fresh parsley on top if you like, and serve while hot.

Enjoy your tasty rice, just like the one you get in a hotel!
