Tea Steep 5 grams of tea in 1 kg of boiling water for 4-9 minutes, then strain out the tea leaves. Pour the tea water into the rice and cook as usual. The resulting rice will be excellent in color, aroma, flavor, and nutrition.
Vinegar When steaming rice, add 2-3 ml of vinegar for every 1.5 kg of rice. This will not make the rice sour, but will enhance its aroma and make it easier to store and prevent spoilage.
Soaking the Rice Wash and clean aged rice, then soak it in water for 2 hours. Drain and place it in a pot with hot water. Add one tablespoon of lard or vegetable oil, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer for half an hour. If using a pressure cooker, it will be ready in 8 minutes. The rice won't stick to the pot and will be sweet and delicious.

Salt When reheating leftover rice, add a small amount of salt to the water in the pot. This will remove any odors and make it taste like freshly cooked rice.
Wine When making fried rice, sprinkle a little wine into the wok. This will result in grains that are separate, fluffy, and delicious.
