Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Jasmine rice
- 2 cups Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 sheets Dried seaweed sheets (nori)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
Instructions
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and will prevent the rice from becoming too sticky.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid. Let it simmer for 15-18 minutes or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
While the rice is cooking, lightly toast the nori sheets over a burner or in the oven at low heat for a few seconds until crispy, then crumble them into small pieces.
Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes to allow any remaining steam to finish cooking the rice.
Drizzle the sesame oil over the cooked rice. Add the crumbled seaweed, sesame seeds, and soy sauce to the rice.
Using a fork or rice paddle, gently fluff the rice while evenly distributing the seaweed and other ingredients.
Transfer the rice to a serving bowl and sprinkle the chopped green onions on top. Serve warm as a side dish or light meal.
