→ Main Staples
08 -
1 1/2 cups jasmine rice
09 -
2 cups of water or stock (use chicken or veggie depending on taste)
# Instructions:
01 -
Get a large pan going on medium heat with olive oil and 1 tbsp butter. Toss in your onion slices along with a pinch of salt. Stir things up every now and then for about 12-15 minutes till they soften and brown a bit. Move them aside when done.
02 -
Place the jasmine rice under running cool water. Swish it around until the water turns clear and doesn’t look cloudy anymore.
03 -
Choose a medium-size pot and melt the last of the butter over medium heat. Add your rinsed rice and stir it around, making sure every grain gets a light butter coat.
04 -
Pour your chosen liquid (broth or water) into the pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Crank up the heat to bring everything to a boil. Then, turn it way down, pop a lid on, and let it simmer gently for 15-18 minutes until the rice soaks up all the liquid. Give it a 5-minute break off the heat before uncovering.

Using broth instead of water? It’ll amp up the flavor!
