Servings = 4 | Serving size =1/2 cup rice
This recipe can be multiplied by 2,3,4.
The cooked rice doesn't keep well.
| 1/2 tsp | chili oil |
| 1/2 tsp | canola oil |
| 1/4 cup | shallots (minced) |
| 1 1/2 cups | water |
| 1/4 tsp | salt |
| 1 cup | jasmine rice |
| 1/4 tsp | ground cumin |
Heat the oils over medium heat in a small non-stick skillet. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally. As the shallots cook, increase the heat as needed, so that the shallots brown slightly. When cooked, set aside.
In a medium sauce pan, heat the water and salt. When the liquid boils, stir in the jasmine rice.
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, for about 15 minutes.
Do not boil away all of the liquid and do not stir the rice.
When a very small amount of liquid remains, remove the pan from the burner and let it stand, covered, for 3 minutes before serving and then stir in the cooked shallots and the cumin.

"Respect Your Dinner: idolize it, enjoy it properly. You will be many hours in the week, many weeks in the year, and many years in your life happier if you do."
-William Makepeace Thackeray, Author
The refrigerator light goes on...
If you haven’t noticed, I love rice. Jasmine, sushi, brown, long grained, short grained, risotto – it doesn’t matter. You can make rice dirty any way you like. Use whatever leftover veggies that you have. Celery, carrots, peppers, onions, mushrooms will all work well. If you want the rice less spicy, use grapeseed oil instead of the chili oil.
