Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the butter and sesame oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add the rice and cook, stirring often so the rice doesn't stick to the pan, for 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the chicken broth and season with sea salt and white pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and let cook for 20 minutes.
  3. Remove the rice from the burner without removing the lid and let it sit for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the lid and fluff rice with a fork.
  4. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds and serve. Enjoy.
