Cooking Tools Required

Cutting board, Fine-Mesh Strainer, Measuring cups and spoons, Saucepan, Sharp Knives, Top Stove

Ingredients

3 cup jasmine white rice
4 cup water
3 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoon soy sauce
3 clove garlic minced
1.5 tablespoon sesame oil
3 teaspoon sesame seeds

Garnish

2 stalk green onion

Instructions

Mince the garlic and add it to a medium sauce pot with the butter. Sauté the garlic for 1-2 minutes over medium heat, or just until the garlic begins to soften and becomes very fragrant.
Add the rice to the pot and continue to stir and cook for 2-3 minutes more to toast the rice.
Carefully add the water and soy sauce, then give the pot a brief stir to combine. Place a lid on the pot, turn the heat up to high, and allow it to come to a full boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, turn the heat off and let the rice rest, undisturbed and with the lid in place, for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork. Drizzle the toasted sesame oil over top, add the sesame seeds, and gently fold the rice until the sesame oil and seeds are distributed throughout.
Garnish with green onion, and serve warm.

Reheating Instructions

Heat in microwave, covered, on high heat until warm.
