How to make plain white rice less boring? [closed] - Abstract background with white glassy drops

I'm a college student. I'm poor. Rice is cheap. Therefore, I eat a lot of plain white rice (medium grain).

I was wondering if there are any specifically tasty seasonings I could pick up that would make plain white rice a lot less boring.

Can anyone offer suggestions? I'm currently using Chef Paul Prudhomme's Magic brand seasonings, and they're great, but I would like to make my own seasoning. Is there anything else in particular that tastes great on white rice (preferably something I could make myself from simple ingredients)?

How do you make white rice less boring?

Cook the rice with chicken or vegetable broth. I sometimes find that using 100% chicken broth can make the rice feel gummy or overly-starchy \u2014 personally, I usually go for a 50/50 mix of broth and water. This adds a layer of flavor and richness without going overboard.

What to add to rice to make it less bland?

If it still tastes bland add a pinch or two of salt, mix, then taste again. Try switching up your salt source and give bouillon flakes, spice packets, soy sauce, or miso a try. Keep adding seasonings and tasting until you're satisfied with the flavor.
