Simple Olive Oil & Garlic Jasmine Rice

Step 1

Make sure rice is clear of impurities. Rinse rice in a fine colander under running water.

Step 2

Turn heat on medium in the stove top. I usually use one of the burners in the back (smaller ones).

Step 3

Heat water in another pot or electrical kettle if you have one.

Step 4

Mince the garlic cloves and start by sauteing the garlic in olive oil on medium heat. Then add the jasmine rice and mix slowly so the grains don't get burnt. I like to use a wooden spoon for this.

Step 5

Once the grains become translucent, add the boiling water, salt and lower the temperature to medium-low. Stir once. Keep uncovered.

Step 6

Once water is running out, then turn heat to low and cover the pot. Let cook covered for few more minutes. Turn heat off. Once ready to serve, fluff with a fork. Serve with your favorite dishes:)
