I often make rice bowls at home feel like I can get the taste of the protein close to the same level as many restaurants. Something that I’m completely oblivious to is how they make their rice so delicious. I’m not only talking about different qualities of rice, but last time I ate a bowl in a restaurant there seemed to be some sort of oily sauce(?) in the rice. It was mostly colorless and had a really nice flavor. What could this sauce be? I’m guessing that its not only the sauce from the protein on top sinking into the rice as this sauce was completely encompassing the rice from the start if I recall correctly. It wasn’t really a proper sauce in itself, more like a flavored oil if I had to somehow describe it.
