Ingredients

Method

Directions

1

Prepare the Rice

Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch which can make the rice gummy.

2

Cook the Rice

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

3

Toast the Cashews

In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the cashews and toast them for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and fragrant.

4

Add Spices

Once the rice is cooked, remove it from heat and fluff it with a fork. Stir in the five spice powder, adjusting to taste, and mix well.

5

Garnish and Serve

Serve the rice in a bowl, topped with the toasted cashews, chopped green onions, and fresh cilantro.
