Main Ingredients
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • 1.5 cups jasmine rice
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Preparation Steps
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Add frozen peas, if desired, and stir to combine. The heat of the rice will cook them in just a minute or two. Taste the rice, and add salt, only if needed. Add the green onions, stir and keep covered until ready to serve. Enjoy!

Notes

This simple Asian rice makes a fantastic side dish for almost any Asian-inspired meal. Feel free to adjust the soy sauce and sesame oil to your taste.
