Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 2 small cloves garlic pressed through garlic press
- 1 cup jasmine rice 190g
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Zest from 1 lime
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add the rice, butter, and garlic into a small/medium pot.
- Cook over medium heat until the butter is melted and then for about 30-60 seconds or until all the rice grains are coated in butter and the garlic is fragrant.
- Add water and salt, stir to combine.
- Cover the pot with a tight fitting lid. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to low and cook for 12 minutes.
- Take the pot off the heat (leave the lid on) and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Open the pot and fluff the rice with a fork.
- Add finely grated lime zest, lime juice, and finely chopped cilantro. Stir with a fork until evenly distributed.
- Season to taste with salt (if necessary) and black pepper.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- If using regular white rice or basmati rice, use 1 1/2 cups of water. The ratio for jasmine rice is 1 cup jasmine rice to 1 1/4 cups water.
- Rising rice - I find it not necessary with the right water/rice ratio and tightly fitting lid. After some testing I haven't noticed a huge difference for rinsed and not rinsed rice. If you'd like to rinse your rice anyway, add 2 tablespoons less water per 1 cup of rice to account for the water from rinsing the rice. How to rinse rice: Place rice in bowl, fill with water. Swish with hand then drain. Repeat 3 times – water will never be completely clear. Drain on a fine-mesh strainer.
