Answer 3

sateed Garlic, with green onion, salt and pepper. Instant fried rice if you add an egg.

Answer 4

Garlic and chicken stock instead of water. It's called Hainese rice. Often served with steamed or velvet chicken.

Answer 5

It depends what food it is going to be served with. You can do just about anything, I suggest you use good organic spices.
If your serving with chicken add a little thyme and rosemary.
If your serving with fish add a little dill.
Mexican try chili powder.
Also you can add soup bases like chicken base to the water before cooking. Check out this site about healthy nutrition;
