# Ingredients:
→ Base
01 -
2 cups broth (vegetable or chicken) or water
02 -
1 1/2 cups of jasmine rice
→ Aromatics & Fats
03 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
04 -
2 tablespoons of butter
05 -
1 large onion, finely sliced
→ Seasonings
06 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
07 -
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley (optional for topping)
08 -
1 teaspoon salt
09 -
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
# Instructions:
01 -
In a wide skillet, warm the olive oil and a tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Toss in the onion slices and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Stir occasionally for about 12-15 minutes until soft and golden. Move them aside for later.
02 -
Rinse the jasmine rice thoroughly under cool water until the cloudiness disappears. This washes away extra starch.
03 -
Take a saucepan and melt the last tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Mix in the rinsed rice, giving it a good stir to coat it evenly with butter.
04 -
Pour in the broth or water along with salt and black pepper. Let it boil, then turn the heat down to low. Pop on the lid and cook for 15-18 minutes, or until the liquid is gone and the rice is tender. Leave covered for an extra 5 minutes before fluffing.
# Notes:
01 -
Using broth instead of water gives richer flavor.
