  • 1 small (120 grams, 4.23 ounces) brown onion finely chopped
  • 1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic 
  • 2 cups (400 grams, 14.11 ounces) jasmine rice rinsed and drained
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 ½ cup (375 ml/grams, 12.43 ounces) water
  • 1 ½ cup (375 ml/grams, 12.43 ounces) coconut milk

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium sized saucepan heat the vegetable oil and then add the finely chopped brown onion. Once soft and lightly brown, add the minced garlic, and rinsed and drained rice and saute for a further 2 to 3 minutes.
  2. Add the turmeric powder, water, coconut milk, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
  3. Once at a boil, reduce the heat to low to bring the liquid to a simmer. Stir gently and then cover with a lid and cook covered for 20 minutes. Once cooked turn off heat and allow rice to rest, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork or spoon, then serve.

Notes

  • Slightly over season the rice with salt because it will give better flavor to the rice.
