Salty and savory rice that is just flavorful enough to be a perfect pairing for the Asian Drumsticks I made last week.
With or without the peas, this is a rice that was declared two thumbs
up by all of my boys. My youngest even emptied his bowl twice and still
asked for more.
Simple Asian Rice
3 cups chicken stock
1 1/2 cups jasmine rice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 green onions, very thinly sliced
Optional: 1/2 cup frozen peas
Combine
the rice and the chicken stock in a large saucepan or skillet, cover
with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 18
minutes. At the end of the cooking time, stir the rice and check the
rice for tenderness. If the liquid has been absorbed, drizzle with the
soy sauce and sesame oil and toss well to coat. Add frozen peas, if
desired, and stir to combine. The heat of the rice will cook them in
just a minute or two. Add the green onions, stir and keep covered until
ready to serve. Enjoy!
