Optional Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Place the basmati rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold water for 2-3 minutes until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Chop Ingredients

    Mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger. Chop the green onions, keeping the green and white parts separate.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed basmati rice and 2 cups of water. Add 1 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the water is absorbed and the rice is fluffy.

  2. 4

    Sauté Garlic and Ginger

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet with the sautéed garlic and ginger. Stir gently to combine everything evenly.

  4. 6

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If using, add the peas, soy sauce, and sesame oil to the rice mixture. Stir until everything is heated through and well mixed.

  5. 7

    Finish with Green Onions

    Before serving, add the chopped green tops of the green onions to the rice and mix gently.
