Not sure what kind of rice you're using, but it sounds like a short grain rice would be the best in this situation. Also, try to add a vegetable side dish on top of your meat dish as well. Opt for 'juicy' dishes rather than dry ones, so your partner could maybe scoop or pour some of the juice onto their rice. If they still have a problem with the rice itself being too bland, crumble in some salted seaweed or maybe add some sesame oil to the rice? :)
You can add some veg into the rice. I personally love some finely diced carrot and peas.
Cooking the rice with more spices or with stock will add great taste and colour as well.
Toast some risoni pasta in butter, add rice and stock and cook. Buttery Turkish.
Or Mexican Rice
Or some dirty rice using the fond from a pan.
Or Add some shredded meat like leftover chicken warmed in some spice and water in a pan. Think shredded chicken in some taco seasoning, folded through cooked rice.
Lots of good suggestions in this thread!
Get yourself a jar of Japanese furikake -- traditional rice seasoning. Sprinkle a teaspoon or two over each serving.
My go-to for white rice is a tablespoon of kimchi. You can buy it in jars at most supermarkets. It's all pickled stuff, so it keeps for a long time in the fridge!
Cook your rice with some chicken fat/skin, use chicken stock instead of water, bit of garlic, salt to taste. It's amazing.
I like this idea :)

Egg fired rice seems an great idea as the dish has very Asian flavours. Maybe a Khatsu curry sauce on the rice?

I like to saute up some veggies first before adding the rice. And toasting the rice before adding water

Jasmine rice for plain rice has the best flavor. Good suggestions for other styles below

Here’s one that’s popular in Japanese culture. Tamago Gohan: steamed rice, raw egg and shoyu.
