I typically use small amounts of oil/fat in combination to flavor my rice be it brown or white.

1. Coconut oil

2. Sesame oil

3. Olive oil

4. Butter

Sometimes I combine all of them, other times just one or two get used.

The subtle variations depend on the meal.

Rice served with coconut shrimp for instance gets coconut oil, coconut milk, butter and perhaps a little unsweetened shredded coconut.

I eat brown rice and wild rice variants, white rice is a rare treat.

A small pinch of Himalayan salt or sea salt when I'm the only one eating it, the wife is on low sodium diet.

Coconut oil really changes the flavor of brown rice, brings out the nutty flavors and seems to remove the gritty dryness some people are not used to.

A while back I read the workout routines of a half dozen leading men with good physiques. All but one had brown rice as a mainstay of their carb intake (needed for workout energy and muscle recovery), the other one ate white rice.
