Not a sauce. Not a stock cube.

Dry herbs and spices, packed for the moment the lid goes on. They flavour the water the rice drinks — so every grain is the dish.

  1. 1

    Rice in the pot

    White, brown, basmati, jasmine — whatever you already buy. Salt the water. Bring it to a simmer.

  2. 2

    Tear a shot in

    One sachet per 200 g of dry rice. Tip it in as the water moves. No blooming, no frying pan.

  3. 3

    Lid on

    Cook as usual. The herbs meet the steam, not a long fry. Rest five minutes. Eat.

What is in a shot

Whole and ground herbs, spices, a little salt where the mix needs it. No MSG, no colouring. Vegan and gluten-free — including Garlic Butter (the butter is a note, not dairy).
