Most of us cook rice by simply boiling it in a saucepan. But why not approach its preparation in a new way - in a frying pan?
Such rice can be used as an independent dish or a side dish for meat or fish dishes.
When cooking rice, at the stage of frying onions, you can use other vegetables, such as carrots, tomatoes, broccoli. Such vegetable additions will make rice not only tasty, but also more useful.
The frying pan is best used with a thick bottom or with a non-stick coating, otherwise the rice may burn.

For flavor, you can add a few cloves of garlic when cooking. But when the rice is ready, they need to be pulled out.
