In one sentence, describe what the following article is about:

You will only need water and rice to make your rice in a pot, but using additional ingredients adds a bit of extra flavor and texture. If desired, add about a pinch of salt per cup of rice. Use oil or butter to soften the rice and add flavor. Add a half a tablespoon of butter or oil per cup of rice. Get creative. Add some of your other favorite seeds and spices if you feel inspired. This will definitely change the flavor of your rice, so consult with others before you go too far. Let the rice stand on the same burner with the lid on for 10 minutes. This is important because the steam will finish cooking the rice.

Summary:
Choose your additional ingredients. Turn the heat off.
