Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups jasmine rice
- 3 cups water
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
Instructions
- Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch, which helps in making the rice fluffy.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
- Remove the saucepan from heat. Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the cooked rice, add the kosher salt, and fluff with a fork to mix the seasonings evenly throughout the rice.
- Garnish the Asian rice with thinly sliced green onions before serving.
