Open in Pepper →Rice is the most cooked grain on earth for a reason — every culture built a signature dish around it, from paella to biryani to arroz con pollo.
Cooks on Pepper live in this collection because every recipe delivers a full meal in one pot: rice, protein, vegetables, and sauce all cooked together.
Every recipe here treats rice as the main event, not the side — with technique that gets fluffy grains, crispy bottoms, and deep pan flavor every time.
Rinse until the water runs clear
Removes surface starch — the fastest way to non-gummy rice.
1:1.5 water for jasmine and basmati
More water yields mushy rice; this ratio gives distinct grains.
Toast the rice first
30 seconds in oil before liquid goes in adds a nutty backbone.
Rest with the lid on
Ten minutes off heat, lid closed, lets the grains finish steaming.
