A delicious, steamed white rice, to go with any meal as desired.

You might think rice is quite basic, and that there are not many variations to
it, but you would be wrong. Plain white rice is often considered quite boring,
but by steaming it together with herbs, spices, or stock, you can create quite
delicious forms of rice that are great on their own.
