This delicious, easy rice has a light Asian flavor, and pairs well with almost any protein like fish, chicken or pork! The key here is the sesame oil, so try not to substitute it.

Time 35m

Yield 3 Cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
6 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts divided
1 1/2 cups jasmine rice
3 cups chicken broth (or stock, low-sodium is fine)
1 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1 lime, zested and juiced
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • In a 3- to 4-quart saucepan or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the scallion whites, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of pepper. Cook, stirring often, until tender but not browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the rice and cook, stirring often, until it begins to crackle, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the chicken broth, lime zest, 1 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper; bring to a boil. Cover and turn the heat down to low. Cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 18 minutes. The trick to perfect is rice is not to lift the lid or stir during this stage. Leave it alone until all the liquid is absorbed.
  • Remove from the heat and using a fork, fluff the scallion greens, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and the lime juice into the rice. Let rest 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve.
