Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and helps achieve a fluffy texture.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed.

  3. 3

    Mix in Umeshu

    Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Then, gently fluff the rice with a fork and mix in the umeshu until evenly distributed.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Transfer the rice to a serving bowl. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, sesame seeds, and pieces of pickled plum. Serve warm or at room temperature.
