→ Core Ingredients
08 -
1 1/2 cups jasmine rice
09 -
2 cups water or broth (chicken or veggie works great)
# Instructions:
01 -
Use cold water to rinse the jasmine rice until it's not cloudy anymore. This gets rid of the excess starch.
02 -
Get a large skillet and heat up olive oil with a tbsp of butter over medium. Toss in the onion slices with a little salt and stir often. Cook them for about 12-15 minutes till they're tender and nicely golden. Put them aside.
03 -
In a medium-sized pot, melt the remaining butter over medium heat. Add the rinsed rice and mix well to coat each grain in butter.
04 -
Pour the broth or water into the pot, then add salt and pepper on top. Turn the heat high to bring it to a boil. Once you see it bubbling, lower the heat, cover it, and let the rice simmer gently for 15-18 minutes. Once all the liquid's gone, take it off the heat and let the rice sit, covered, for 5 minutes before serving.
