Identify appropriate times for adding seasoning ingredients in the cooking process?

whatever you are cooking you should add the seasoning ingredients when the food is most absorbent, that way the food absorbs the seasoning, for example, if you are cooking rice you add the seasoning when the rice starts poofing up or changing texture into a more soft one. it would help to add a little bit of water with the seasoning to your food that way you can see when the water has been absorbed that your seasoning has been absorbed. at the end if it not tasty enough for you,you can always add some salt and match up with some chili, or some sugar.
